It's broken :(

Well, it happened.  You know it is going to happen with three boys.  It is inevitable.  A broken bone.  Yep, a broken bone.  Now, while I know this may happen, we have now had two kids with casts in 3 short years.

Sam had a baseball game Saturday morning.  He went to grab a gatorade for himself and some sunflower seeds for his dad before the game at the concession stands.  Walking back, arms full of food, drinks and baseball gear, he tripped and fell.  Skinned his hand, his shoulder and broke his arm.

Ryan called me, told me, and I proceeded to have a freak out.  I was surprised by this because I feel like I am usually fairly calm in kid situations.  But no.  I panicked in the phone and said "What do we do?" Ryan said "Um, first you need to calm down." Oh yeah right.

Luckily one of Ryan's best friends is an Orthopedic Doctor and told us where to go.  We are told it it is a buckle fracture and he will be in a cast about two weeks.

Todd looked at the x-rays today and said that actually, it is a fracture all the way through and he will be in a cast 5-6 weeks.  Ugh!!!

So, Ryan and Sam go to get the cast on today (he has been in a splint) and his arm is so swollen that they could not put the cast on it.  We hope that in a few days the swelling will go down enough to get the cast on and then I am going to be the first person to sign it!!

Boys!
