We made it 6 years with out a child breaking a bone until this week. Charlie was at his end of the year baseball team party at the park on Tuesday night when he fell off his scooter and hurt himself. He got back up after a few minutes and was out playing with his friends for hours.
The next morning he could barely hold up his left arm and was cradling it with his right arm. He told me it hurt to bad to go to water day at summer rec and that is when I knew it was serious. I got him to the doctor yesterday morning and sure enough, he had broken his left radius up near his wrist.
We went back today and he got on his permanent cast. He wears this one for 3 weeks and then we go back and get it checked out. He may then get to wear a short arm cast for another week and at that point we are hoping it is all healed.
Charlie has been such a trooper about this and not letting it slow him down. Today after the Dr he went back to summer rec and was out playing dodge ball with all his friends. I have loved watching how happy he is and how something like this doesn't even take away his smile!
