Grant and his cast

Over the weekend, Grant fell on his arm twice at home, both times when he put his arm down to protect himself. We called the ped immediately and he told us that he should be fine until we can bring him in on Monday. We found out that he fractured his radius and needs to see an orthoped doc to get a cast. The orthoped told us that he probably will end up wearing a cast for about 3 weeks but he can't see him until Grant's arm is no longer swollen. He gets to wear this handy wrap until he goes in. Thank goodness it's not too hot yet or else he would have itching/sweating problems. Uh, and for those of you wondering, no one pushed him. I've told them several times NOT to jump off the bar stool height chair. This time I think Grant was trying to get down and the chair somehow entangled Grant. The second time was when he accidentally rolled off the bed trying to grab his book and fell on the same arm.

On top of all this, Grant caught the flu. This year we didn't get around to getting the kids flu shots and now we regret it. Can't tell from the pictures that Grant hurt himself and has the flu. : )

Stay away from the Boyer household for awhile.............
