My Son Is on the DL
Last Saturday, while trying to keep up with his bigger cousins at a soccer game, Sam fell and hurt his left arm. He favored it the rest of the day, crying whenever he tried to pick anything up -- or push himself up -- with it. We thought that, maybe, his wrist was either strained or sprained, but, by Monday morning, he seemed to be better. The arm didn't seem to bother him, as he was using it as he normally would and not acting like it hurt.
Yesterday, as a precaution, Melissa took him to the doctor. X-rays showed a tiny fracture just above his wrist. He's now in cast, and will be for the next three weeks -- including the week we're on vacation.
Neither Melissa nor I have ever broken a bone. I have to tell ya, it just breaks my heart every time I look at him.
I'll post some pics soon.

I really feel for you (and him!)! I can't imagine an active toddler having to deal with a cast, but luckily they seem to figure out how to work around things pretty quickly, so he'll probably surprise you with his ingenuity :)

What???!!! Oh my Goodness! My poor baby!! Tell him Aunt Wendy understands, as she too, broke her left wrist when she was 8 yrs old!!
Know this: the worst part in summer is the heat under the cast, and sometimes it itches soo bad, so be there to scratch with a clothes hanger!!! xoxoxox, Wendy
