Brooks and the Blue Cast

We took Brooks to the orthopedic doctor today.  He did break his ulna (forearm) in 2 places. This is a problem because it cause the bones to not align correctly.  Apparently if you only break one, the other provides the support to keep the alignment.  He was asleep at the beginning of the appoint but quickly woke up.  The doctor had to try to manually move the bones into place.  He did not like that at all. He cried and cried and then cried as they put on the cast. Then we had to take X-Rays and more X-Rays. They were having trouble getting good pictures because of the size of his arm.  We go back next week for more X-Rays.  Then if everything is progressing, it will be about 3 more weeks.

I think he is kind of proud of his blue cast, but it is going to be a long 4 weeks with no running (right), playgrounds, and swimming/water. He had to miss water day at Summer Fun today.  He was so mad when we dropped off Jackson but not him.
