The injured...........

So Evan came home from school after his "Ghost Dance" preformance telling us that his wrist was hurting really bad and that he had hurt it at lunch playing basketball. I reminded him that I had seen him and talked to him during the afternoon and he hadn't mentioned it at all! Anyway, it looked really bad-swollen and bruised. We decided to let him sleep on it and see what tomorrow would bring. He was up several times during the night asking for Advil so we figured it was something..... The next morning we head down to the ER at the local hospital. We were stopped by guards at the front door telling us that Evan couldn't enter the hospital in shorts! What?? Anyway, we explained we were headed to emergency and he became more than accomodating. He actually escorted us down the hall and pointed us in the right direction. We didn't have to wait long for the x-rays or to see the doctors. There were two that saw him, a lady doctor then an orthopedist. After pushing and pulling and poking, they looked at the x-rays and confirmed that the wrist was broken.

We were sent upstairs to the "cast room" where a young male Arab nurse put on a cast. Evan was hoping for a bright orange or blue but here, white was the only option.

It felt better immediately in the cast because he couldn't move it at all. They prescribed some pain meds but we didn't give him any and he didn't need them. He missed track practice that day but went ahead and ran in a track meet two days later. Now it's just a matter of a few weeks....
