Mitchell's Broken Arm

April 16th

This morning Chad and I dropped off the kids at the Smith's house and headed up to Chiefland for the Trek... we were asked to be a Ma & Pa. 10 minutes before we reached the chapel in Chiefland, we got a phone call from Teresa telling us that she thinks Mitchell broke his arm. We had Chad's mom come out and take Mitchell to the ER to get it checked out... sure enough he broke his right arm... both bones right above his wrist... the very first broken bone in the family! Mitchell of course looked to the bright side right away... no writing and he gets to ride the elevator at school. He is bummed about missing the rest of the soccer season though... he's only had one game so far... oh well.

May 22nd

Today Mitchell got his cast taken off... he was so excited!!! His arm healed perfectly according to the x-ray and doctor... but it still looks weird to his mom. His arm is flat and scrawny looking... like there's no muscle there... it's just funny looking!! Hopefully once he is able to use it better it will look more normal.

As for tonight, it was Wyatt's birthday yesterday. All he wanted for his birthday was to have Mitchell come over and spend the night. I warned Mitchell... NO JUMPING ON THE TRAMPOLINE... hopefully he'll listen!!
