Last Thursday was eventful...Mark picked up Will from school and decided they would do some bonding at the playground while I dropped off some casseroles for a friend. Unfortunately, Will decided he would wave goodbye to some kids while on the swing and ended up tumbling backwards and landing just right on his arm to create a buckle fracture and a special trip to the ER.
At the ER I was amazed and blown away by my boys:
First, Will was a champ and had the nurses entertained. He was so good and was definitely excited to see where Dad goes to work to be able to buy him toys and stickers. Plus, he knew that Dad's work meant McDonald's ice cream so he was pumped and cool as a cucumber. Another bonus was getting to watch dad blow up latex gloves and pop them and playing with the buttons on the bed.
Will is still getting use to having a hard sling on, and we are working hard to not get it wet, full of sand, and covered in food (If you know Will this is proving to be a difficult task.) The fracture should heal well and we will go back on Wednesday to see if we need a harder cast.
Second, it was amazing to see Mark in his element. I never get to see him at work and immediately when we walked into the Children's ER everyone rushed over to see how they could help Dr. Trevino. We were so lucky because so many co-workers in other departments stopped by to check in on us, our x-rays were expedited by Dr. Bill, the questions were streamlined, and so many residents who were on call just dropped in to see how they could help. A special thanks to Dr. John for calling the ortho guys and Dr. Paul who fitted us with our splint. We couldn't have asked for a better doctor, and such a small world that Paul was a fourth year med student who rotated with Mark during his first year of residency.
