Broken Arm

Well we got a call from school asking us to come and pick up Nathan that he has hurt his wrist. When I got to the school they had him in a make shift splint out of paper and tape. He was sitting there looking as laid back as could be. I asked the nurse if she really thought he was hurt ? She was pretty sure his wrist was broken so we headed off to the Emergency Room. Nathan was so sweet and was trying to be such a big boy. Everyone at the ER was so nice to him . We got our X Rays and sure enough it needed a cast :( They put on soft cast until the swelling went do and then we would get the hard one. After a week we headed to the ortho to get the real deal. He picked purple and yellow for the Vikings and the "cast man" made him a cool cast. We even painted a Vikings on it so everyone would know what the purple and yellow was for :) He has been so good about the whole thing. He has not complained once about any of it. I am sure it helps that everyone gives him a little special attention because of his pitiful little arm in that cast. The worst part is he has to miss all of the football games except the last two because of it. He has still wanted to go to every single practice and his coach is nice enough to still let him play with the team. On Game Days he gets to sit with the team and even do the coin toss. He has been a great sport about it all . Everyone tells me to get used to it because boys always break things...... UH OH !
