Our Easter Sunday didn't go as planned. Scott was scheduled to leave on a trip, so we got up to do our Easter fun before he left for the airport. The boys and I were going to head to church and then over to our neighbor's house for Easter lunch. Bryton fell while I was in the shower. Scott thought he dislocated his elbow, and thought I should head to the ER to get it check out. He got Cohen dressed for church and got him to the neighbor so I wouldn't have both boys in the ER. Scott headed to the airport. After we got the x-rays, the doctor called in the orthopedic surgeon in to take a look at his arm. He had broken his humerus right above his elbow and was going to need to have pins put in it that afternoon in order to set it. Scott turned around from the airport to be with us and we spent the day at the hospital. We let Bryton's breakfast settle for 8 hours (he had JUST eaten when he fell) and they took him back to surgery. He woke up with a new red cast! Everything worked out and we were home later that evening. Bryton was such a trooper! He took a few days to adjust to doing things with his left hand, but he has gotten the hang of it!
We have no cute Easter pictures this year, but we have one good story to tell for Easter of 2013 :)
We went back a week later and they checked the pins. Everything was in place and healing properly so he got his second cast. We will go back on the 22nd to get the pins removed and to have his third cast put on for three more weeks. Hopefully after that he will be on his way to having a fully functioning arm again!
