1st broken bone!

Z-man has a broken arm!  And it only took 3 weeks to figure that out.  ZOIKS

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!
