Please say prayers for Christian (fyi, it's not REALLY REALLY bad)...

Tomorrow morning he has to get his arm put in a cast. He had run into the couch (he gets in these running spurts) and was complaining of some pain in his hand/arm ( he is only about 2 1/2 so he couldnt tell me exactly what it felt like or what actually hurt). He is right handed, and won't use his right hand much. He cried intially, and then stopped and played the rest of the day...but still not using his right arm. So i took him to the pediatrician at around 4pm today and they said they thought it looked like a fracture (w/o doing an xray). So they sent me to a place to get the xray done and it turns out he has a fracture. So it is in a splint until tomorrow morning, until it can get casted. My poor baby. I feel so bad for him. Although, he is a trooper and isnt complaing about it hurting at all (maybe once or twice)...but other than that is playing like normal...so please think of us tomorrow morning (mommy is more nervous about all of this than he is, i am sure)...we are expecting alot of snow too, if so, my father in law will let us use his truck to take him to the doctors...so that is good.

Anyway, thanks...we both appreciate it :)

Poor Christian. :(
He'll be in my thoughts. I hope he gets better soon!

Awww, poor Christian! I hope all goes well tomorrow.

Poor baby:(

I will be thinking of you and Christian tomorrow--I'm sure you are more worried than he is--he might think a cast is pretty neat!!!

When I was 2, I broke my arm as well. I was standing on a chair in the kitchen, helping my daddy do dishes, and I fell. My little sling had green turtles all over it--I loved it!!!! I think it's still around somewhere too:)

I was so scared to open this thread, by the way.......

Make sure you take pictures of Christian with his little cast--he will probably be so proud of it.

Thanks everyone.

Lovemyshiba...i changed the title of the thread a little, so that you all don't think that he had something really really bad happen when you open the thread...anyway, thanks, i appreciate everyone's concern.

Robyn

Lots of positive thoughts on the way. Can you draw a cat on his cast for me??? :)

:o :o :o :o :o

Ok, so I'm a bit of a drama queen--I was just scared something had happened to him.

Wow, Christian, I am so jealous - I always WANTED a cast when I was a kid - a place where you could draw on yourself and not get in trouble. I always drew on my friend's casts - whatever they wanted me to draw.

Momma Robin, don't you fret - if you drive to Massachusetts, I'll draw a bunny on it for him! And you can put stickers on it, and the worst thing you have to worry about, depending on the cast, is it'll get itchy. I'm sure he'll be fine, and you will live through this!

Like mother like son. What Christiansmommy didn't tell you is that she broke her arm at almost the same age as Christian. She was a little closer to 3 at the time. She put on a pair of my high heels and attempted to come down the stairs with them on. :eek: (I can barely do that myself even now! LOL!) Hers was a very bad break (it makes me shudder even now as I remember) as the bone was totally out of place. :eek: :eek:

Miss Meow I will see that a cat gets drawn on his cast for you! :) Thanks for prayers and good thoughts! :)

No, not at all. I probably should have said that it wasn't life threatening to begin with...i would have been afraid to open it too ;) :)

Prayers and positive thoughts on the way for little Christian. I hope everything goes well today!!!

You and Christian are in my thoughts today. Glad that it isn't a terrible injury (not that a fracture is a good thing.) It will all be over with before you know it.

It probably won't itch too bad since the weather is cold now. Summers are the worst for a cast. I had a full leg cast in July of 2000. It was terrible!

Prayers on the way for a super quick healing..

i know .. (well i don't really) that something like that is scary when it happens to your kids...

I agree with everyone else.. most kids think having a cast on is pretty cool... I broke my arm when I was six... and thoght it was real neat to have my friends sign it... and like lovemyshiba said... take pictures... I think he'll think it is cool ...:)

Get well soon, Christian!!!! Your grandma told me what happened. I did lots of the same kind of thing when I was a little kid too! :o

And Robyn, good luck to you! Bath time used to the be the worst with a cast since you couldn't get them wet. I do think that things have improved a bit since I was a little kid, though!! :D

I'll be praying that Christian's arm will be better soon! :)
