Broken bones

Eric went on the scout bike ride on Tuesday night. The chain slipped and he landed on his elbow. He's got a pretty good road rash, and a possible broken arm. We went to the ER late Tuesday night and they put a hard splint on it. They can't tell if it's broken, because it's right by the growth plate. We were supposed to be able to get into Children's ortho clinic on Friday or Monday, but they can't get him in until next Thursday.

Thursday we went to his pediatrician because he has a staph infection on his other arm. While we were there, his doctor had him go get more x-rays. They still don't know if it's broken - probably not - but have to wait until next Thursday until the specialist can see him. Poor kid. It's so hot outside, too. I know he wants to be in the pool. We can remove the cast, though, so maybe.....
Thursday night Jason had a water polo scrimmage. He got clocked in the nose by his opponent trying to smack the ball away from him. The bridge of his nose is really swollen and he is pretty sore. He's going to end up like his dad with a huge, crooked nose from lots of breaks. (Troy reminded me he broke Jason's nose once before when they were playing racquetball)

All I can say is-thank goodness for health insurance!!!
