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. :)
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.)
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).
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.
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.
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* :)

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

You only hope they learn.
Hang in there.
