He fell off the monkey bars and was in quite a bit of pain. We took him to get x-rays and they couldn't see anything. Follow up with an orthopedic in a week if it still hurts. BAD week of lots of pain. We went to the orthopedic. MORE x-rays. STILL nothing. Z was given a splint with a possible elbow sprain. ONE WEEK LATER. . . . still hurting, but not as much. MORE x-rays. NOW we can see signs of a broken bone that is healing. Still can't see the actual break. Z's arm was officially declared broken and he got a cast.
Z has had so much fun having people sign it, but was a bit bummed that he hasn't been able to play soccer. ;) After 3 weeks, we went back and it was still hurting when the Dr. pushed on the arm, so he was recasted--this time BLUE! :)
Hopefully Z will get his cast off in another week.
And Yes, we feed him even though you can see EVERY rib!
