Good news on the Kate front. I went to the hospital with her today where she saw a specialist who examined her X-Rays and determined that, while she did break her arm in two places, the alignment of the bones was such that surgery would not be necessary. I guess you kind of have to give Kate credit. When she makes a break, she breaks 'em nice and clean.
She'll be in a cast now for about a month and, according to Dr. Woo, it should heal nicely with no forseeable complications. I have to book an appointment to see him a week from now so he can check in on Kate and probably X-Ray her again. Hopefully it's all good news from here on out.
Actually being there and hearing the doctor speak directly to me and not having all the info filtered through in-laws and third parties did a great deal to diminish the stress and worry that I was experiencing over the last 24 hours. That, combined with seeing her in front of me (she slept at grandmas last night) chipper and talkative despite her injuries, brought the migraines to a mild hum and greatly reduced the tension levels at home.
Until the next crisis, I guess.
