Jordan's Broken Arm



This was a sad day, Yesterday January 14th, 2009, I got a call from the School nurse saying Jordan fell from the Monkey Bars at recess and was hurting real bad on his wrist, she said he wouldn't even let her look at it, so I got Jake and ran over there to get him, everyone at school felt so bad for him, you could hear him crying from the door, I got him in the van and took him to the E.R., he wouldn't let me see either and was in alot of pain, he had on a long sleeve shirt so i couldn't see the damage, I got him checked in and finally Dallen showed up,( he had left his cell phone in his car and didnt know what was going on, but showed up just in time) they had to lift up his shirt to see and do an x-ray and that's when i saw his little arm and knew he broke it. This was our first broken bone incident in this family and i was very emotional but i tried to keep it in. You hear about these sort of accidents all the time but when it is YOUR child its so hard to stay composed. They gave him some meds to knock him out to try and put the bones back in place, but had not succeded, so they put a half cast and sling on him and now we wait until tomorrow to take him to the bone specialist, he may need surgery to get it back in. We'll know more late and i will keep everyone posted.
