One Fun Day

Well, it looks like Savannah's arm is recovering well! Yesterday she decided to ditch the sling and start to move it some. She doesn't like to crawl on it, and leaves it hanging at her side most of the time, but she is moving it to pick things up, so its definitely improving. We talked to an orthopedist today who scheduled an appointment for Thursday but said we could cancel it if she was back to normal by then. He reviewed her x-rays and said everything looked like it was back in place and she was probably stiff and sore and it would get better with time, but we have to be extra careful because once it pops out, its much more likely to do so again in the future. So in her daddy's words, the summary is, "So it shouldn't really mess up her basketball career then!" Haha.

Anyway, yesterday we decided to have a fun day and we went to the Blue Ridge PBS KidsFest at the civic center. We had to wait in line a while because there were a TON of kids there...but Savannah made the most of the time by walking with Grandad and playing with the balloons tied everywhere.









Then, when we got to the front of the line, she got to sit on Elmo's lap for a picture! This was definitely the highlight... I wish you could have seen her face when she spotted him from her spot in line. :)





Daddy carried her out in style... but she wanted to check and make sure it was him under that hat.








Afterward, we enjoyed ice cream at Brusters! Savannah loves Brusters because they give her a baby cone, and that was definitely worth moving the arm for! :) It was cold though, as evidenced by the funny faces.







She sure enjoyed it though. In fact, she tried to shove the whole cone in her mouth.



We had a fun day with our girl!

OH my! I didn't know our little dumpling was hurt but I am so relieved she is recovering quickly. I read about her injury on your other post and started to cry! Poor baby! We love you Savannah!
