Grady's New Accessorie

Yes! That is a cast. And Yes! He broke his wrist. Before you call CPS or think Aaron and I are horrible parents...let me explain. This was a complete accident! I promise! Saturday night Aaron and Grady were playing on the floor as usual and I was reading a book and laughing at my boys. Grady started crying and when I looked up I saw his wrist bent at a weird angle. We jumped into panic mode instantly and tried to make sure he was ok. He only cried for about 2 minutes and after that seemed to be fine. He was moving it and bending it, so we put him down to see if he would crawl. Well, he would collapse every time he tried to put pressure on his right wrist. So, panic mode again! Since it was Saturday night our only option was the ER, which we haven't had the best of luck with in the past. So we opted to just wait until the next day to see if he was any better or worse. Sunday rolls around and he seemed to be fine. He was playing and even crawling on it, though with a bit of a gimp. So we just figured he sprained it and it was a little sore. Sigh of relief. Well, Monday rolls around and he was playing on the floor and I still noticed he was favoring it and still not completely putting a whole lot of pressure on it so I took him into the Pediatrician. Two hours and a couple of x-rays later, it was confirmed that my sweet boy had a very small fracture in his wrist. So off we went to the Kidz Clinic and had it casted. Poor guy!! He was been handling it very well! Doing all the usual things! Bath time was not so fun though.



Aaron and I still feel horrible!! He is still his happy busy self though. Still playing, laughing, crawling - it is more like an army crawl now since his arm is bent (we hope this will be motivation to start walking). Only three weeks! One day down...20 to go!
