What are the chances.....

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later, but we would have preferred later that's for sure. The day after Christmas Burt was setting up Nicholas' new slide/rock climb play gym outside and Nicholas was playing with his new golf clubs. Nicholas then apparently decided he wanted to go under the slide (I was not home), with golf clubs in hand, but didn't quite make it all the way over the step. Burt didn't see how he landed, but we are assuming he must have hit the ground with club in hand. He was in pain of course, but it was just a fall, he has had a million of them and been just fine. What made this fall any different right?? Throughout the night he didn't put much pressure on his right hand at all so the next day I took him to the pediatrician and he figured he probably fractured something. So, today we went to the orthopedic to have x-rays taken and sure enough he has two fractured bones on his wrist. Poor little fella. He now has a cast all the way up his right arm so he can't take it off himself. He will have to wear it for three weeks. He is being a trooper though and I am sure this will not slow him down. He was running all over the office with the cast on and wanting to climb the stairs. We will just have to watch and see how he adapts. I am sure he will be just as active though. So, our first experience with broken bones. Hopefully the last, but I don't know if we will be that blessed. I will post a picture of the cast later and pictures from our wonderful Christmas too. Nicholas so wants to get on his new slide so maybe we will get a picture of that too. He will just need more help climbing the stairs. So, that's all for now......
