Ellie jumped off the end of a bed and landed on the bed-end board with her shin. The damage through to the bone required repairing under General Anaesthesia
We took her to Kallangur Satellite Hospital
She pretends to be sad
But she is fine and fascinated by it all
If you are squeamish, you might not want to see this video, as they show us the bone inside, pointing out how deep it is:

She was told to keep her arm straight:
The next day, at Redcliffe Hospital
We showed up at 7am and had to wait 5.5 hours before surgery. One hungry little girl.
Getting ready for Surgery at 12:30pm
About to go under the Anaesthetic
3pm Sleepy girl
She woke up around 5pm, hungry girl! Ordered an extra two tubs of ice cream.
