Big Brother's Boo-Boo

It sure has been an interested week to say the least. A few days ago Jeff was riding his scooter to a friend's house down the block and fell on his arm. I knew it was broken the minute I saw it. We spent a few hours in the ER on Sunday, a few hours in the orthopedic office yesterday, and early this morning he had to get his arm set at the hospital. Luckily they put him completely out to do the procedure. He had a clean break but the bone ended up at a 24 degree angle. The doctor said it did pop back into place but it took about 30 minutes of working on it to get it there. He used a kind of x-ray machine to help him see the bone during the manipulation. Needless to say Jeff's arm was really sore afterwards. The next step is a follow up visit in a few days during which time he might get his final cast put on. After that it's 5-6 weeks of wearing the cast. He has been really brave through this ordeal.
