Zach did break his arm. And he has a bright red cast to prove it!
The doctor has said it's a supracondylar fracture. Fancy talk for he broke his upper arm right by the elbow. Very common for kids his age who play on monkey bars.
I feel like I should start a group called "Moms Against Monkey Bars- MAMB!" :) In all seriousness, Zach will be fine. He has to wear his cast for the next 3 weeks and then hopefully all will be healed. So if you are around and want to sign his cast- come on by. He is anxious to get signatures!
Hey, at least it wasn't in the middle of summer when you'd have to be fighting to keep him away from the pool, right? Ugh - good luck with it - hope he heals fast!
ReplyDeleteyou know Nicholas broke his leg in 4th Grade falling from the monkey bars. He was in a cast for 7 weeks.
ReplyDeletePoor guy - although I bet he is loving the attention :) (mel)
ReplyDeleteDoh! We'll miss signing Zach's cast by just a few days, probably. But I'm glad he doesn't have to wear the cast for long!
