Pain Meds

Have you spoken with the baby's orthopedic surgeon about her pain level? She probably should be seen, as the cast may be pinching and need to be adjusted. Or she may need some stronger meds than Tylenol or Motrin. I'm assuming she has a spiral fracture, since that is usually the type of break that automatically implies abuse. Is she in a spica cast, or is it just a regular cast? If it's a regular cast, you can still "wear" her in a baby sling--you just have to face her outward.

If you need any tips on cast care, please don't hestitate to PM me. I have LOADS of experience in that area, unfortunately...
