Broken Arm


Last night was Chic-Fil-A night for our school. Since this was the last one, Geoff took the kids while I went to young women's. Unfortunately, while Alex was playing (swinging) on the toys he fell and broke his arm. Poor boy was in lots of pain, and because of the loud pop he heard when he landed was pretty sure it was broken right off. They came to get the insurance card from me, and of course being a mom, I insisted on going with them. Thankfully Becky and Shelley found this great E-care in McKinney that got him in and medicated quick. They discovered a crack on his humorous bone and splinted him really good till we can take him in to get his cast. He is a pretty good sport, liking the fact they sent him home from school, but very disappointed to be missing his championship game this weekend. But he promised them all to come and cheer them to victory!

Poor Alex--looks like he's handling it pretty well, though. Good luck recovering and get the cast off before coming out to visit!

Oh man! That is rough, sorry Alex. I guess we can all learn from Alex--just keep on smiling even when your humorous is cracked.

What is going on? We leave and you go and break your arm? Were you just trying to get out of playing football? You need to be careful! Save us a place to sign your cast.

What a tough kid! Thats too bad about the game though. Hopefully the cast will come off before he misses out on all the swimming this summer.

that is so sad, I am sorry that happened. Alex, maybe you shouldn't be hanging like a monkey. Get better.
