Spongebob time - the best time of the day...

Cute!

Not cute!

Oh, snap!

...As in, one's radius.

I guess it was inevitable that one of these youngin's was going to break a bone, but Q beat everyone to the punch last evening, allowing us to contribute more to the Moore Family Wing st St. Mary's Hospital.

We installed the zip line that Q got last Christmas (doh) in the backyard yesterday and Q was standing on a small stool that he uses ALL THE TIME outside to step up on the playset, into trees, etc. when he just fell off and hit the ground the wrong way (he was trying to reach the handle of the zip line using the stool) . I saw the whole thing through the kitchen window, and when he ran up to the house screaming I figured that he just had a scary tumble.

Well, when Beegee and I had a look at his arm, we could tell immediately that it was a break. I threw him in the car and rushed him to the ER at St. Mary's. We got there at 6:30 and he had a rough go of things until we got in the back and he was given an IV with some painkillers and a bedside TV.

The orthopedist came in about 9:30 to set the bone and put his cast on. He probably will have it for a month. What stinks is that it's his right arm, which is his drawing / throwing / computer game hand. Kids are resilient, though, and he's already bouncing back nicely. He stayed home with me today and has to stay home Friday, but he'll be back at school Monday.

Got to say, the little guy came out like a champ. Very brave kid, and I tell you what, watching your kid scream in pain as he's given novacane to numb his arm and having it set is....rough.

Below are the x-rays (kinda gross, yet kinda cool)

Note Isaiah interrupting with a screech and the baby fussing after the story. So it goes...
