Well we had our first visit to the ER Wednesday night. Carson was in the basement playing when I went upstairs to switch the laundry. I then heard a crash and crying; but having a boy, this happens often so I didn't think much of it at first. However, when Carson wouldn't stop crying and kept complaining that his arm was hurting, I thought we should probably get it checked out. Once Dave got home from work, we headed to the ER. Luckily, we were able to leave Holden with my mother-in-law. They got Carson in right away when we got to the hospital and started doing x-rays. Carson was such a trooper, he didn't cry at all. The nurses kept saying how cute he was and how great he was acting. It turns out that he broke his arm right above his elbow (humerus bone), a hairline fracture. Thank goodness it wasn't bad and he doesn't have to have surgery or have it set. They put him in a temporary cast for the time being.
Update: We saw the Orthopedic Specialist Thursday and they said Carson's arm looks good, and he will not need any surgery. We will have to go back in a week and have it looked at again. She said he should only have to wear the cast for 3 weeks. When it came time to decide on what kind of cast to get, he decided he wanted soccer balls.
