Well, with two rambunctious boys in the house, it was bound to happen. We ended up in urgent care yesterday with our first fractured bone. Yesterday the boys decided to wrestle on the bed while I was in the shower. They have been told many times not to do this, but of course that doesn't stop them. Just as I was about to get out of the shower, I heard a loud thud and a scream. Sure enough, Sebastian was on the floor beside the bed screaming. After 30 min. of sitting with him and trying to calm him down, we knew something was seriously wrong. I couldn't get him to use his left arm for anything. We waiting a little while before going to Urgent Care just to see if it would get better over time. We finally decided to go and after a series of x-rays, they determined that he had a humerus fracture. The fracture is in the upper part of his shoulder just below the joint. They put his arm in a sling for now and we will see an orthopedic specialist in the next few days. He will most likely have the sling for 6-8 weeks. That means no running, jumping, climbing or swimming for the next 6 weeks. I think its going to be a very long 6 weeks!

Hopefully this was the first AND the last broken bone. Glad the orthopedic doctor had some good news.
ah this is so my fear! Hope he's feeling better. 6 weeks is a long time for a little boy to sit still. I wish you luck!
