First time getting X-rays alone (since I'm pregnant I couldn't be in the room with him)
First broken bone
Lessons learned:
No matter how close you are or watching their every move accidents will happen and you have no real control over it.
Children are super resilient, it's truly amazing to watch. He had moments in which he has asked how much longer he has to wear the sling/arm keeper downer contraption but overall his spirit has not been fractured. I would like to wrap him in bubble wrap until he's completely healed. We are enforcing riding in the cart when out at stores as his tendency to trip is still high and with only one hand/arm to catch himself with is a recipe for injury. He has no desire to simply sit he is as a toddler should be constantly moving and we find ourselves constantly saying "take care", "that's probably not the best idea", etc.
He was sentenced to 3wks in the sling/arm keeper downer contraption pending x-rays. and 1wk in the sling more as visual to other kiddos to be careful around him again all pending x-rays. He is going to South Bend Orthopedics and seeing the upper arm bone specialist there (because they seriously all practice very particular areas). And to think he was on track to not meeting his deductible for this yr, oh well that's why we have insurance for accidents like these.
