Last Wednesday Jacob was playing on his climbing/slide toy
in the backyard with his cousin. They were standing on the platform inside and he slipped and fell. It isn't a long fall, but he fell just right and broke both bones in his left arm.I took him to Instacare because I didn't think his arm looked right. He was crying when we got there, they took us into a room and I laid him down. After an hour (that is about how long it took from check-in) we finally saw the Dr. But by the time he came in Jacob was no longer crying and, while he didn't use that arm, he could move is fingers and wrist...so I thought maybe it was sprained.
They took an x-ray and it was broken.
They splinted it
and I took him home. We get a cast this Thursday. He was a trooper!
Amazing what a little ibuprofen can do!!

Poor little guy! Ahhh--adventures in parenting, I guess! I hope it heals soon and that you don't have to make too many adjustments to "life."
Awe, poor Jacob. What a trooper. I hope it heals super-fast! Bath time should be fun, not...
Wow, he is so brave and good natured! I can only imagine that Neal would have to be sedated..or maybe it would be me that would have to be sedated. I hope you're both doing well. Miss you!
I guess I need to check the blogs more often for the updates!
Sending our best to little Jacob for a quick recovery.
