It's official

Hollister definitely broke his arm. He actually has THREE breaks! Hey, if you're gonna wear cast for a month, you mine as well make it worth your while, right?

X-rays with the orthopedic surgeon show that he did break his wrist on his growth plate in two places. They also checked his elbow because it hurt when they touched it. Confirmed! Another break! And yes, on his growth plate.

So, he has a full cast for the next month. He is such a trooper. It is huge and hard and heavy. He does wear a sling though.

Let's add some color! He originally picked red. I love the baby blue and so glad he changed his mind.

 I love that he smiles even in the midst of all this mess. He is such a big boy!
He can not swim or even play on a playground where dirt could get in his cast. He can not go to a bounce house or play activity where running and jumping are involved. I see movies and library trips in our future.

Its a yucky way to start summer break, but oh well. He has ear surgery the beginning of June as well, so this is actually good timing for the no swimming part.    

And on a side note: Trevor took all these pictures on his phone. I am so happy that he took so many. He knew I'd want the whole process! Thanks honey!
