Max's Arm

And the story continues.....

When I last posted, I left you with how Max had fallen off the ladder on the playground. As we were driving home from the campground, he just kept saying that his arm hurt. We tried to distract him with a McDonald's biscuit, but he didn't want to eat, he just wanted to lay downstairs and rest. He was holding his arm like it hurt and still complaining. I thought that maybe he didnt' sleep as well as I thought he had. I tried to lay with him, but he was still complaining. He never really cried, just kept saying that his arm hurt. He screamed right when he fell, but he does that anytime he gets hurt. The thing that was different this time was that he couldn't be distracted.

Andy and I decided that we better take him to have someone look at it.

I jumped in the shower and we got Max dressed - (remember we were still in our pajamas). Andy stayed home with Maggie and I took Max to the local Prompt Care. Of course, they were busy. It was a Saturday morning, so we had to wait quite a while. They called us in to do that paperwork and then we had to go back in the waiting room and wait for the doctor. May poor little baby fell asleep waiting. When we finally got see the nurse, they took us back for a X-ray. Sure enough, Max broke his arm, it might just be his wrist, but we have to see an Orthopedic specialist next week. He is in a cast now, most likely the specialist will take this cast off, do another X-ray and put a new cast on. We just have to wait and see.

He has totally been a trooper. He had all the nurses laughing as he was telling them all how to ride a bike without training wheels. He didn't seem the least bit scared. He was more worried about not being able to start school on Tuesday and not being able to go to his cousin, QP's birthday party next weekend.

Looks pretty comfy!


This is a much needed nap my people needed after a night of camping and a morning of doctors!

A silly old cast won't stop me!
Andy put his training wheels back on so he can ride his bike!
