Someone gets their arm broke! and that someone was Braxton:(
He was playing "fruit salad" last night at Sonlight. Which I guess this game is a lot like musical chairs. It was just one of those "freak" accidents and if they did the same thing again it probably wouldn't happen. Someone just landed on his arm just right and he broke it right above his wrist. It was a clean break and won't need setting or surgery. Thank goodness! It was his left arm. So we were thankful for that and that it wasn't during baseball season. He will get it casted next week and then he will have the cast on for 6 weeks. He was in a lot of pain until we got it supported and then he hasn't been in any pain. He is a tough little guy. I am sure this is one of many to come. But who would have thought that playing a game like that would do it instead of when he plays baseball, football, rides the four wheeler or his motorcycle, jumping on the trampoline or even rough housing with his dad and brothers. Another day, another doctor trip:) Thank goodness for AFLAC!

oh my goodness..mike's face went ashen when i told him i'd talked to laurie and it was broken. we're sooo sorry. i hope the 'no pain' sticks around and the healing goes fast!
i spoke too soon. the school nurse called and said he had been in for tylenol and ice. she said "bree he never complains, so i know he is hurting". she also said that the pain generally comes within the first 3 days. so i am to keep him on tylenol for 3 days, every 4 hours. she said the swelling kicks in and that is when the pain starts. there is no reason to be sorry. it happened and it was noones fault. laurie felt terrible. but like i said it happened! no biggie. i completely understand that accidents happen.
i did tell laurie that at least it happened to an understanding parent. can you imagine some of the parents in the group if there child would have broken something at church? thanks for being so understanding.
I knew he was too young to be messing with girls. You girls are hard on the male population. I will have a talk with him.
