It's Not Broken Just Bent

Rylee was off to play practice, Reganne was playing with the dogs, and Ryder was outside playing with friends.  It was a peaceful Saturday afternoon.....Until the doorbell rang and a couple of girls from the ward were carrying Ryder.  He was crying that his arm hurt really, really, really bad.  We tried ice packs, wiggling his fingers, and just resting.  Nothing helped he still was crying and holding his arm.  Dave asked him if he wanted a shot?  NO!!! he screamed and went on crying.

Dave decided we had probably need to visit InstaCare.  So off we went.

Waiting for the Dr.

A forced smile, still waiting.
A splint and wrapped arm, a few Frozen stickers, and a promise to visit our Dr on Monday.
We were headed home.
The diagnosis...A bent bone.
It's not broken just bent a lot.  Isn't that a song by Pink?

The treatment was to splint it and wear the sling until we can visit Dr. Twiggs and most likely a cast in the near future.

Stay Tuned for updates.

That x-ray looks awesome! You can totally tell that it's bent. Craziness!
