The Broken Bone

So we had our first major E.R. trip. Scott fell off G-ma's trampoline because he was trying to sit on the edge with his popsicle, and broke his arm just above his elbow. It was a really bad break that required him to go into an emergency surgery to have 2 pins put in to hold the bone in place. Luckily it looks like the pins were a success and he didn't have to go in for another surgery. Now we wait another week, then do another x-ray to make sure everything is healing properly, and then put a cast on for a couple of weeks, then eventually...pull the pins out when his is all better! We are just grateful for the wonderful surgeon who has done a great job, and for all the modern inventions and medicines that make it to where this injury was able to be fixed. He has sure been a trooper throughout the whole thing, and has gotten pretty used to his bulky arm. But it sure was a scary and tramatic experience for Mom and Dad.

Here he is at the E.R. before the surgery.

No fun seeing such a little guy like that.
