Jack's first broken bone... he fell off of a kid sized chair on Friday night (actually, I guess it was more of a crazy jump) and landed on his arm funny. He ended up breaking his humerus (the upper arm bone) right down near the elbow joint.
We took him to urgent care on Friday night where they took some x-rays and put him in a temporary cast. Today we took him to Children's Hospital where they took more x-rays and put him in a Packers green cast. He was a super patient even though I'm sure it hurt.
He'll be in the cast for 3 weeks and then a splint for a week and a half. Not bad at all- we figured it might be 6-8 weeks in a cast!
He's super bummed about not being able to take normal baths and tackle Daddy-O and Uncle Timmy... but it's only for about a month. He can make it! Here are some pictures...
A random cute one of Trouble
The first day of school- he's in the blue room! He doesn't even bring his Obeo to school anymore!
Heading in to school- a little apprehensive
Late Friday night- we finally had dinner at 9:30 after being at urgent care most of the evening
