Hawaii Vaction Part 5


Aww...the dreaded curse we have that we always get hurt on vacation. Chase landed wrong and crunched on his shoulder from an attempt at a smooth landing off the trampolien. I knew it was wrong when he landed badly and didn't stop crying. He's a tough cookie, unless he's hungry, but he was good and belly full...so I was worried. I could see the bone about one inch long missin from the "collar bone" stretch of bone. Its easy to see on him too...he's a little boney. Anyways, the ER dr said, "nope. not broken ", and something about moving and swollen cartlidge...then showed us xrays. they gave him a sling and sent us home to "come back in 5 days if he's not better." He struggled for about those 5, but we weren't sure what else they could do, and he wasn't crying at night anymore...just stiff. We let him tell us, and he said he wanted the sling off...so we took it off. We just had to be very careful not to bump or touch him. We came home to Idaho and had him xrayed again by our orthopedic surgeon, and yep- it was broken. He had an entrance and exit brake. He was very zoomed in though...and was healing great. He was so glad to get both mommy and daddy at the hospital. Usually its just me. Daddy is aparently very cool to have there too! :)
