Broken Arm # 4

Well, this is the 4th broken arm we've had in our family.  First broken arm for Kyle.  He was climbing up a stool to get on the kitchen counter when the stool fell back and he landed on his elbow.  It hurt like crazy at first.  This was a Thursday night.  He said it was killing him on Friday- so I let him stay home from school.  My neighbor who is an orthopedic surgeon came and looked at it.  He said to put it in a splint and give it till Monday- if it still hurt on Monday he would x-ray it.  So we put it in a splint for the weekend.  On Saturday it was feeling a little better, and on Sunday he was acting just fine! We thought for sure it wasn't broken.  He was moving it around like normal and everything. It was so weird. He woke up Monday morning and it was killing him! So I took him in, and sure enough- broken!  He was a great patient getting his cast on.  He said he hoped he would have to get a cast so he would have to write because he is right handed.  Little did he know he could still write with it.
