Little Mishap

Last Wednesday I was down stairs working and Kody & Ryker were upstairs playing.  All of a sudden I heard a loud crash and went running up the stairs.  Somehow they had tipped the crib over and Ryker was crying (hysterically) and holding his hand.  They weren't in he crib or underneath it thank goodness!  I made an appointment with Dr. B and in the mean time he cried himself to sleep.  Once we got to the doctor he felt his wrist and then sent us for x-rays.  Which he HATED!!!  To make a long story short, he ended up breaking his wrist.  Not all the way through, just a little fracture, but still needed to be splinted. 

So for the last week we've been trying to keep his arm wrapped and in the sling.  Since it was his right arm, I thought maybe it would slow him down, but to no avail.  Although he did look pretty darn cute running around with a sling.  Unfortunately he had another mishap on Sunday when he fell at church and wouldn't move his other arm.  I ended up taking him to instacare where it was determined, after xrays, that he had dislocated his elbow!  They popped it back in and he was instantly fine...thank goodness!!

I finally gave up on the sling towards the end because he figured out how to get it off and it really wasn't staying on his arm anyways.  Last night he decided he's take the entire thing off, clear down to his arm.  So I'm excited to finally have it in a cast.

Today he was casted and Dr. B decided to go all the way up the arm since he hadn't been so good at leaving his splint alone.  He thought he might try (and succeed) at getting a shorter cast off.  So for the next 4 weeks he'll have a blue arm.  Thank goodness it was now and he'll have it off before we start swimming and all the fun summer fun.

And i hope I survive.. cause he's beating me up with it (not on purpose).  Every time I have to pick him up it scratches me.  My arms look like I've been attached by a dog!
