Today's focus changed suddenly--Little Man was horsing around while we were preparing for the single ward to come to our home for a special Christmas family home evening. He was climbing on the couch and came off of the back. The cry was different, then the whimper was as well. I looked over and knew that his arm was broken. Such timing! Ten minutes before 40 people are going to be arriving, rolls in the oven, chocolate to warm for the fountain, bananas and pumpkin roll to cut.
I head to the emergency room with the Little Man's arm on his Thomas pillow with Mr. Man and MissE there ---why were they there again? Luckily for us they take him right in. The ex-rays show both bones broken completely through, bent at about a 45 degree angle. They knock him out with what they call a conscious sedation. He wasn't thrilled about the i.v. and he jerked when the needle poked him so they had to do it again.
He has a temporary soft splint until the swelling goes down and then he will have a hard cast for about six weeks.
I guess that the party went well. There wasn't much food left. There were two slices of pumpkin roll-my first attempt ever! They turned out really good and were not hard at all!
