His arm hurt, his arm hurt! He fell off his bed (BUNK BED) while making it and his arm hurt too bad to finish cleaning and could he please just lay down and watch a show. I explained that no he may not but I would gladly hold him until he felt better. After about 10 - 15 minutes the crying hadn't ceased and I noticed a large lump swelling on the side of his arm. I hadn't been too concerned up to that point because he could move his hand all around and wiggle all the fingers. After noticing the lump I promptly called the doctor.
"mama called the doctor
and the doctor said,
no more Zaiah's falling off the bed"
Sorry, too many years of singing that song, back on track now.
The doctor said to take him to an urgent care with x-ray capabilities. So Ev bundled him up around 2pm and headed over. Around 4 I got the call that it was indeed broken. Poor little guy! Then around 5 they pulled into the driveway at the exact time Mammy & Grumps pulled into the driveway for a BBQ. Our little trooper is in a sling and in great spirits! He enjoyed the bbq and his time with Mammy & Grumps but I could see his disappointment everytime he found something he couldn't do with a broken arm (like swim & play Nintendo DS). We gave him some pain meds for the night but we'll see how he does, might be a rough night ahead! Here are some pics of the broken arm & dinner . . .
