We've experienced our first broken bone. I knew it would happen, just wasn't quite ready for it!
Noah was at school on Thursday, August 26, and yes it was his 5th birthday! Playing on the playground, fell down and broke his left arm, above the elbow. The teacher called, and we went to the pediatrician they did x-rays and couldn't see a break. We went to the orthopedic surgeon the next morning, and they saw the horribly broken and displaced Distal Humerus (just above the elbow). The doctor immediately made plans for surgery that day. We went to the hospital directly from his office and began the pre-op. By 3:00pm we were on our way home with a very sore little boy.
Today, Noah is running around playing hard with Abigail and hasn't had any pain medication since the tylenol he had last night before bed. We go on Wednesday to have the pins removed and a hard cast put on.
