Broken

Broke just below his shoulder

A week and a half ago we drove out to Saratoga Springs, where we are building a house, to look at the model home for colors.  There is a new fun park there, so while Jeff and I were looking and thinking, the kids ran over to the park to play.  They were having a great time playing and even took some shaky video of the fun they were having.  Here are a few pictures of the park I took a couple weeks earlier.

Hard to see everything in this pictue, the people in the jungle gym are adults still putting it together.  The culprit was a teeter-totter swing thing to the left of the bench.  It is hard to see.

A little while later we got a call that Brock was hurt.  I guess Brock was on one side of the swing thing and Ethan was pulling on the other side, sending Brock up high.  Brock couldn't hold on because it was cold and he flew off landing on his arm.  We weren't sure how hurt he was until we got home.  He couldn't move his arm and was in quite a bit of pain.  We thought he may have dislocated it.  I took him to Instacare and after an exam and x-ray we saw that it was indeed broken.  It broke too high so they could not cast it.  Instead he gets to wear this fun contraption for a month or so.

Brock has been great through this whole thing.  He has been brave and tough and has survived on ibuprofen only.  He is starting to get bored and frustrated that he can't run around and play like usual.  He was excited to start basketball season with the young men but now he will have to wait to play.  I'm thankful for his sweet spirit and his non-complaining attitude.  We are still looking forward to having this fun new park to play at by our house and now we will have an interesting story to tell the neighbors  when we move in :0)
