Another Boy Adventure

Yes- we went to the ER yesterday. I was at school at the very end of the day, when I heard some yelling in the hallway. I was just about to leave duty to go do some after-school tutoring, but I thought I should go subdue such shenanigans. I discovered my own son, and like any reasonable mother/teacher, I scolded him for yelling in the hallway. When I realized that his wrist was bending about an inch below where it should have been, I changed instantly into caring mother-mode and decided we needed to go to the hospital right away. Thank you to the front office for the amazing splint they constructed while I went to get the car. Lots of mother-love up there!

ER got him right in, gave him some oxygen and hooked him up to all the monitors. He needed some painkillers for the "reduction" to come. Thankfully, it only took about 10 minutes, and he doesn't remember much of it , except for the tugging on his arm. Amazingly we were out of there in about 2 1/2 hours!

Silly boy, he was trying to run and jump to catch a rain gutter.....just like Jake, apparently. He over shot it, missed and landed on his wrist. This is what happens when you do this:
He is now known as SPIDERMAN 'round these parts. :) Brave boy, he is at school today, and sees this as a learning experience.

Awwww....they match!
