First Broken Bone!!

Because things are exciting enough around here!!!

Last week, I sent Blake off to Scouts (which is now conveniently just down the street) and when he came home, his new leader was with him and explained that he tripped and fell on his wrist while they were doing relay races.  He kinda kept his arm bent in close to his body for the rest of the afternoon so I wanted to go get it checked out.

After Matt got home from work, I took Blake to the Urgent Care on the corner.  They took x-rays and the PA said he thought he had a greenstick fracture of the radius.  They wrapped his arm and sent us home with instructions to follow up with an orthopedic doc.

We didn't have an appointment until Monday.  The doctor took a look at the x-rays and determined he indeed had a hairline fracture.  Lucky boy gets to wear a cast for three weeks!  He chose a BLUE cast, of course.  It's his favorite color!

He didn't waste any time having friends at school sign his cast!

We've been lucky to make it 10 years before having a broken bone.  I guess it's inevitable, living in a house full of boys!
