This Month... Broken Arm

Really? Three weeks exactly after he broke his leg, Tyler was cruising around as usual and tripped on his leg cast. He had a hot-wheel car in his left hand and fell all his weight on the right arm. He cried an unusually long amount of time and a tiny red spot showed up, one that I remembered seeing on his leg when he broke that. So, we called the doctor and made the appointment as soon as we could. I was actually leaving town and had to leave him and Jason to do the appointment alone. That was not an easy thing to do. So, Dad had to hold him for some x-rays and sure enough, fracture number two. They splinted it and told us to make an appointment with the pediatric orthopedic surgeon for casting the following monday. LUCKY FOR US we already had an appointment to remove his leg cast - yes REALLY! He is doing great with the two casts, it hasn't really slowed him down. Eating was/is challenging with the left hand. Jason has been calling him "lefty".
