oh no! :( :(

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

Ow! Poor kiddo.

[dervishspin.livejournal.com]

oh my god.

Has your heart stopped racing yet?

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm actually okay. It happened while he was at school, so most of the drama happened before I picked him up and took him for X-rays. By that time he was just a subdued sniffly little boy (and you know something's wrong when people use words like "subdued" to describe this one).

[tamidon.livejournal.com]

No shock, but Adira has had one of those too

Hang in there little guy

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah, I think I remember that. This is just a splint -- I think by the time he gets the cast on, he's going to think it's the coolest thing ever.

[tamidon.livejournal.com]

be careful,arm casts make great clubs

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TELL HIM THAT

[pancua.livejournal.com]

LOL

Hey, what's your phone number again? ;)

I am glad that he is alright for the most part. I can't get over how big all the kids are getting though!

Welcome to the club! Justin did the same thing to his left arm a few years ago. The emergency room visit sucked, as usual, but fortunately, that was the worst of it. They do heal. :)

[harimad.livejournal.com]

They do heal.

And so quickly, too!

But yuck anyway.

[blk]

And extra annoying when they always seem to break their dominant arm... My son had horrible handwriting for the first two months of school that year.

[jasra]

Yikes! My niece just broke something in her arm that caused her to have a cast that covers her elbow too!

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

That's actually just the splint! He'll get a cast on later this week and they said it'll probably be cut much shorter than that. Not nearly as dramatic, alas.

[ceo]

Owie! Poor kid!

(And I know full well I've probably got at least one of these moments in my future.)

[keyne.livejournal.com]

I'm just surprised it took us so long with this one.

[innerdoggie.livejournal.com]

Here is to a speedy recovery.

[ghislaine.livejournal.com]

Oh no! (Gotta admit I'm not hugely shocked though! ;) But damn that does suck for him. I'm sure I'm in for the same thing at some point in my/my child's future.)

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

Indeed, the thing that's really shocking is that we haven't had to do this before now.

Poor guy will be in a cast for probably a month, they said. Here's to quick healing!

[mizarchivist]

Of course life needed to to be more exciting, right?... or not.

I hope he heals very quickly.

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

Quinn? In a cast? Theoretically limited from running or jumping activities? Yes, life will get VERY INTERESTING INDEED around these parts very soon.

[beah.livejournal.com]

Boo! I hope everyone is recovered from the shock, at least.

[coraline]

ow!! hope it heals up quick.

[rintrahroars.livejournal.com]

Oh, poor kiddo! Poor you, too. Hope you can all take some tylenol and go to bed. The day is officially fired.

[opadit.livejournal.com]

Oh, no! Best wishes for a speedy recovery! Eleanor (http://opadit.livejournal.com/608248.html)'s wasn't a buckle fracture, but I hope it heals quickly.

Also, casts these days are water-resistant and colorful. Eleanor chose (http://opadit.livejournal.com/610597.html) pink.

[cutieperson]

yes, spring for the water-resistant if they don't automatically offer it up!! the bone should heal fine, and that way the skin shouldn't get *too green* :)

OUCH....

[gothtique.livejournal.com]

The corellary to that being: Don't skip steps on the way up the slide.
My eldest learned that one the hard way.

You only hope they learn.
Hang in there.

Re: OUCH....

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

The hard way is the only way these kids learn. Ain't that the truth!

[vokzal.livejournal.com]

Oh boy...

[kcatalyst.livejournal.com]

Aw, poor kiddo. Good luck with the recovery period!

[dancingwolfgrrl.livejournal.com]

Aw, poor kid! And you guys! I'm glad that it's not horribly dire, and I hope the cast doesn't drive him crazy.

[trom.livejournal.com]

Hope he recovers fast.

[malefica-v.livejournal.com]

So, what kind of Halloween costume requires a cast? He's a bit young for the Evil Dead shtick...

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

That's not actually such a bad idea. The boys are fighting over my "Zombies For Obama" button...

[innerdoggie.livejournal.com]

Combine campaigning and trick-or-treating!

[malefica-v.livejournal.com]

I've got to know what Halloween costumes they ended up wearing!

[mrf-arch.livejournal.com]

Ow! Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

[pyrzqxgl.livejournal.com]

Speedy healing to him! I got my broken arm at 6 also, tripping over a fallen tree.

[phornax.livejournal.com]

Ouch, sorry to him (and you guys). But I am sure he will think of crafty things to do with his cast.
