1 little boy + 1 trampoline = 2 broken arms

So the story goes like this...

Against my "Mommy instincts" I allowed the boys to play on a neighbors trampoline even though it didn't have a safety net. On Tuesday, Conor was playing with some neighborhood kids on the trampoline and while jumping flew off the side. He landed first with his hands then on his face... when he tried to wipe the grass from his face and mouth he realized he couldn't. When I opened the door and saw how pale his face was I knew instantly there was a problem. His arms were limp and he said he thought they were broke... I had pretty much already figured that one out. We were at the hospital and checked in within the half hour. The staff at the hospital was fantastic and took him in very quickly even though there was a full waiting room. Within 3 hours we were back home with two soft casts and some good pain meds. The meds worked well because as we were leaving the hospital he begged me to take him to his baseball bbq because he wanted his trophy!! :) Unfortunately, the bbq was over at that point so I bought him out with pizza.

Today, he went to the orthopedics. The doctor said he had to compression fractures in the radius. Conor has been casted on both arms and will stay in the cast for 4 weeks. In four weeks they will remove the casts, take more x-rays and decide if he is okay to leave the casts off. Hopefully, he can learn to do more with his casts on... only time will tell!!
