Broken Summer
Jul 8, 2008 by Jared SmithWe’ve all been having an awesome summer - camping, swimming, hiking, boating, and more. Now, this…
Abbie fell off the trampoline today and broke her arm. I mean, she REALLY broke her arm. Check the X-ray if you want. Pain, agony, weeping, and panic commenced, and even Abbie cried a little bit. She was a real trooper through all of it. It was, as you can see, a pretty nasty break. Our pediatrician and the ER doctor both told us they wouldn’t even touch it, but luckily an orthopedist, after a lot of effort, got it set almost perfectly. A miracle! She has to keep her arm in the air and on ice for the next couple days and will be in a cast most of the summer, but I think she’s going to be just fine.
I know some people get a bit squeamish looking at such things, but if you want to see pics of her arm, you can check them out here and here (it’s not too bad - no blood, just a crooked arm).

I tried thinking of a witty comment, but I don’t think I can top Steve’s. +1 to you good sir.
At least they didn’t have to cut it off like the Captain, but then your halloween costume with Bryan as Mr. Smee would have looked pretty cool.

Wow it must be the summer for broken arms, Jon’s, Kody broke both bones in his arm.
It looks really bad, I hope it heals quickly.
Eva, I bought a ticket to come out for the Godfrey Gathering, I’ll only be there a couple of days, but at least I’ll be there.
