Subject: Aiden's arm

The school year started of great. Aiden was very excited about his first day of 2nd grade. Things were going great until the 3rd day of school. Calleigh had her preK orientation that day and both Wes and I went to the school with her. We were on our way out when we saw Aiden headed to the playground and we gave him a hug before we went to switch car seats and stuff from Wesley's car to mine. We weren't even in the parking lot 2 minutes when both of our cell phones went off and it was the school. Wes answered his first and the school nurse said Aiden was injured and we needed to pick him up. I went back into the school and what i saw made my heart drop. Aiden's arm was going in two directions, quite obviously badly broken. We made or way to the car and went to the er. They did x rays and saw both his radius and his ulna were broken One was just fractured, the other was completely snapped. They were going to have to reduce it. So they knocked him out with ketamine (which we are all to familiar with from Calleigh's stitches). He was then put into a soft cast/splint and given some pain meds. The poor guy was miserable. As a mom it is the kind of pain yyou never want to see your child go through. I wished I could tale it all away. He was in the soft splint for about ten days to allow the swelling to go down and is in a temporary hard cast until this monday.
