Our 1st Broken Arm





Poor Zach has been through a lot this week! He fell going down a hill on his heely's. A rock got jammed up in the wheel and caused the fall. He was pretty scraped up when he got down to the daycare where I was working. I didn't think it could be broken because he wasn't crying. He was really babying the arm and acting funny and not like himself, so we guessed that it was broken. By the time we got him home it was really swollen.

We went to the ER and were so freaked out by everyone there that thought they had the swine flu!! After a long wait, we finally got the x-ray and confirmed that it was broken. They put a soft cast on it because of the swelling. The next day we took him to a specialist that said it needed to be straightened out. So...the next day after that we had to go into the hospital for "surgery" They treated it just like a surgery because he was going under anesthesia, but he was only out for about 15 minutes. He did really well, but the anethesia made him pretty sick and tired. After a full afternoon resting and a good night sleep he went to school today and I haven't received a call to come get him, so that's a good sign!!!
