Broken Boy

Uh, Jared broke his arm this week.
While we were hosting a large party and weren't keeping a good eye on him. (Guilt, anyone?)
He wore a splint over the weekend, until we could see a specialist on Monday.

It was so hard to keep him safe for those few days. I didn't realize how much running, climbing and wrestling are a normal part of his life!

When he did lay down, he actually napped. My boy, who quit napping when he was two, napped.

But fortunately, he didn't need pins, so he got his cast! We are so glad he is on the mend!

Poor guy! Noah broke his arm falling off the bunk bed a few months back. I was amazed at how he adjusted to life with a cast and how quickly it healed. After they take the cast off, the bone is actually still pretty bent (which was surprising to me because I thought it was supposed to be straight at this point!) but there is new bone growing around it so it's strong enough without the cast. We just went in for the 3 month follow up and his arm was perfectly straight. the body is so amazing!

Glad he's doing better!
