What a way to end spring break! Yesterday Jake was riding his Rip Stick at the neighbors house. I was downstairs and when I came up he told me that he really hurt his wrist when he fell. I asked "Why didn't you tell me you fell?" his answer "I don't know but it hurts now!" I gave him some Motrin and some ice and after a bit he said it felt better. He could move his fingers and his wrist so I wasn't too concerned. I texted Scott (he was out cacheing, shocker I know!) and he asked if it was the thumb side or pinky side that hurt. I told him thumb. He replied "that's good usually that side is a sprain". Okay whatever. This morning Jake was in tears holding his arm, "Mom is REALLY hurts! Can you take me to the doctor now?" Well, I had to teach JAM (Jesus and Me) this morning, Scott had a migraine so I told him I would do it as soon as I got back. Fortunately Scott's headache was much improved when I got home so I left Addy with him and off we went. Jake was so smilely and bubbly I thought "there's no way this is a fracture, he's too happy now". Nope, wrongo, he has a broken radius, we go to the orthopedic surgeon tomorrow! I hope no surgery we've had enough of that in this house!
