It's been just a bit over 4 weeks now since Ella broke her finger and, unfortunately, it doesn't look like the bone is growing together well. It hasn't improved enough to remove the cast. We go back next week for yet another x-ray and if the bone still isn't mending, then she'll get a CT scan to gather more information on the bone structure. Then, she'd have a surgery to move the bone closer together as well as a deeper assessment of the current situation.
In the past, Ella was pretty uninterested in the whole wrap/re-wrap of the cast. Today, when the doc exposed her arm, we not only saw the beginnings of a bruise near her elbow but Ella was frantic when they tried to re-wrap it. I think losing the freedom of moving her fingers ticked her off...

Poor baby... can't they do anything about the size of the cast? It seems pretty extreme (size) to me.
Bless her little heart! She seems to be a real trooper. I would be getting tired of that big 'ole thing too!
