Our First "Broken" Bone

We've never had a trip to the ER and we've never had so much as an ear infections except for a tiny one with Kyler that didn't seem to bother him at all. Guess it was about time for one of my kids to break something. ;o) Though it's only a minor buckle fracture in his radial bone. He fell off the TV stand. Both him and his brother climbed up at the same time and when I went to tell them to get down, I think he caught his foot or something and landed his wrist on his empty toy box. He screamed!!! Never really heard him cry like that, so I knew he really got hurt. Though nothing was swelling after that and it didn't seem to bother him at all unless it was touched in a certain spot. I wanted to wait it out for at least a day. After two days of this, I kind of wanted to get it checked out since I know fractures sometimes aren't visible on the outside. Took him in on Monday to get x-rayed and they confirmed what I thought. It's a very mild fracture and will only take about three weeks to heal. Thankfully. So far, it doesn't seem to bother him. He's a brave little man. ;o)




Haha! She wasn't trying to block her face. She was just showing us that he can still move his arm like this. Perfect timing, huh?




Getting the color on. Really wish he hadn't picked out bright orange, but there's no changing this kids' mind. LOL





He likes it! lol...Wonder how long that'll last.



Getting more wrapping done to make it waterproof.

Those kind of casts are WAY better than the one I had! Mine went up over my elbow. Ugh. Glad it's not too bad!!

Haha! Sister, I would definitely protest if it was pink!!

And Gina, that sucks! I don't think he'd do well with one like that.
