first cast

we were out to jacob ballas after berries class. upon reaching then we realize the water play area was closed for maintenance work. well, we can only play at the playground then. both were happily playing till yu ze came running to us and say that mei mei cried. darling went over to see her and all she said was she fall down. clean her up, change and pacify her. she keep saying her right hand is painful and doesn't want to move much with her hand.

 

we leave her as she is and quietly observed her behavior with her right hand. she is very careful with it and handling it with care though she didn't cry in pain. we left around 12 noon to head for lunch. we keep looking at her in the car and decide to bring her to kk to see doc for just in case.

 

as usual, long queue at kk a&e. after we registered, i notice we are still far away from our turn. went to check with the nurses if we can go take our lunch then come back. she check our records and told us to take x-ray first and better not to let yu xi eat or drink in case there is really a crack and they need to do some procedures for her.

 

i went in with her to do the x ray and we continue to wait at the waiting area till she complain tummy pain (she is hungry). i went to check with the nurse again, they told us to wait while she get a doc to look at the x ray. we manage to jump queue and see the doc pretty soon. doc mention there is nothing shown on the x ray but she proposed to cast yu xi up for just in case. in case there is any hair line crack that can't be see and if she move too much, it will make it worse.

 

yu xi started crying when the doc try to touch and assess her. doc told us to come back later when she calm down and was able to follow her instructions. we asked if we can go take lunch and she say its fine. we went for lunch and back in the clinic within 30 minutes. back there, yu xi still doesn't really want to move her hand much. and so we proceed to put on the cast for her.

 

she cry the whole kk down while the cast was on. keep repeating that she want it. and she ended like a broken recorder, cry and stop, cry and stop all the way. back home, i remove the sling for her to make her slightly happier. her crying still comes occasionally but she does slowly get used to the idea.

 

i bribe her with a lego friends. told her if she is good, don't touch and don't cry, i will buy her the lego friends soccer practice and she agreed.
