We went to dinner tonight to see Brett and Karen, who we haven't seen in a while. Imagine being greeted at the front door with Jessica in a cast! Apparently it happened yesterday, when Jessica collided with a playmate and crashed to the ground. Fortunately it is only a hairline fracture. However, she will be in a cast for 4 to 6 weeks. Here is the amazing thing - I have never seen a cast like this before. There is no plaster involved in this process. It looks like thick blue gauze, and is made of fiberglass. It comes in sealed packets, and is then wrapped around her arm, and it cures in about 10 minutes. It is now hard as a rock, and sounds just like plaster when you knock on it with your knuckle. Oh, and isn't Jessica cute as a button!
