Kiddo fell down the stairs last night and broke his arm right above the elbow. We think he tried to walk down them without holding on to anything since both his hands were full. After a night at the pediatrician's for a splint and the ER for x-rays we spent the morning talking with the specialist on the phone then back to the ER at Primary Children's for more x-rays and a new cast. We go back in one week to see yet another specialist and get yet another cast. In the meantime I'm hearing lots of whines for "help!" since Caden can't seem to do much of anything by himself with his arm all splinted up. Oh well. It could have been much worse and we're grateful its just a broken elbow.

That picture makes me want to reach through my screen to hug the poor little guy! I'm so sad for him. The snoopy sling is great--pretty sure Ryan's was the same (but blue?) when he broke his arm?
Aww poor guy!
Ahhh, poor little bug! That's so scary, Tiff! I hope he mends well and it doesn't cause you too too much extra hassle!
Oh Tiff I am so sorry! Just what you need with a new born! I hope that he mends well and dosen't have to be in cast for to long! Let me know how it goes!
Oh my goodness. What an ordeal! I am so sorry. He looks so sad in that picture, poor little guy!
Tiff, I am so sorry! I hope things heal quickly. Let me know what I can do to help.
