The Monkey Bars....

We have always wondered who was going to be the first to either get stitches or a cast. Well, yesterday we found out. Jesse was crossing the Monkey Bars at school and lost his grip. He fell and landed on his arm as he was falling backwards. We took him to the emergency room and had xrays taken. The doctors there thought her had fractured the bone from his elbow to his hand. They put his arm in a splint and made an appointment for today for a cast. Come to find out today, he actually fractured the bone right above his elbow. The put a cast on from his upper arm all the way to his little hand. He chose a Red cast! He was such a big boy through this whole thing that we took him to Target to get a fire truck. We'll let you know how he is doing in 3 weeks or so when we take him back to the doctor to see how things are healing. Here's a picture of him with his cast.
He had such a big day today that once he got back to Nonna's house, he took a long nap with Tyler and Taylor!

OMGosh... (knock on wood) we've never had a BROKEN BONE! We've done stiches and they aren't fun. Tell Jessie we're thinking about him and we hope he feels good soon. Poor little guy!

Poor guy!! But you knew it really was just a matter of time right? :) We've done stitches too...and that was not fun either. Tell him he's lucky because I didn't get a cast on my leg for the bone I fractured recently! I'm jealous!!;)

I did tell him about the cast you got on your leg when you fell off the changing table as a baby! He thought that was cool! He wanted to know if you did turns on the way down! I guess the thought your cahnging table was on top of a high rise somewhere!

Poor little guy. He looks a little drugged in his picture. Pain medication must have kicked in. I'm not sure I want to be around him with a cast on his arm. He's liable to knock everyone over now for sure! Tell him Auntie Josie and Uncle Earl say hi.
