Kylan's Broken Arm Update

Suzanne reminded me that I didn't tell you what happened with Kylan's arm.  Here is the story and an update.

Kylan and Joey tipped the rocking chair on its back and got up on top where the foot of the rocking chair is.  Joey started to fall, grabbed Kylan, and made Kylan fall.  He did cry pretty hard but soon was up and running around and climbing as usual.  He would complain a couple of times a day and show me his hand - I thought it was the sliver that was hurting so we got that out. A week of complaints one or two times a day made us finally take him to be checked out. Turns out he had a fracture in each of the bones up by the wrist.

He got a cast put on on Monday and had it off by Friday. Sunday night we lost the cast (he'd taken it off in Misty's room where we never go so never thought to look. She found it when she got home from her trip). Wednesday we took him back to the dr. he put just a splint on it and about 3 hours later that was off too.

So that's where we're at with Kylan's arm - good thing he's so young that it should heal correctly with normal growth and movement.
