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

Awww...Christian, I 'm so sorry that this has happened. I know it will heal in no time at all though. You are such a good little trooper.

Robyn, I know this is probably harder on you than Christian. Hang in there, girl. Everything will be just fine. I'll be thinking of you guys today. Keep us posted.

Hugs to you both...Robin

P.S...Now do you see what you put your mom through when you had to go toddling off in those high heels.

Awww! I hope his arm heals soon. Broken bones are NO fun.

Poor little guy. But like everyone else says, he'll probably think it's really cool - especially when he gets it off and sees the pics. I never had a cast and my brother had one on each leg when he was real little so I was totally jealous. Except when the itchy part came.

And as we know with the injured kittens we've seen here and how adaptable they are, amazingly enough skin kids are the same way which, I'm sure, is why he's playing as usual and only complaining a little. What a trooper.

Don't worry, Mom, he'll be fine. I just hope the snow and cold isn't too bad to make the trip to the doc a nightmare.

Good luck and Mom, be brave. We know Christian will be, we're just worried about you.

Get well soon Christian - and don't chase after the kitties with your new reinforced arm.

Christian is home!! After finally finding an orthopedic doctor who took our insurance, we had an apt. scheduled for 10:30 am. (My husband is about to be hired by another company..so we will finally have excellent insurance!!)

Anyway, he did great through the appt. They put on a partial fiberglass cast instead of a full cast. B/c a child his age would be prone to take off the full cast, and then we would have to go back to have it re-casted. So the partial that he put on, if for some reason, he figures how to take it off, i can put it back on myself...he only needs it on for 3 weeks, since he is so young, his bones will heal quickly.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for their positive thoughts and prayers. I will post a pick of him with his new cast a little later (and i can post a pic of the xray, if anyone is interested).

PS I dont think he will chase the kittes with his new "club", but Dale, on the other hand, might think it is his new chew toy!!

Glad to hear you are home and that all is well. Thanks for the update.

Now, Dale...you be a good boy! That is not a chew toy! Behave yourself! If Dale is anything like Katie he will definitely be grabbing hold of it a couple times to see what he can do with it.
