Only Grayson

Our little Grayson took after his mama... I'm very clumsy and he got the clumsy gene. On Wednesday evening we were outside and Grayson was on the playset, saw a tree limb, tried to swat it away and fell to the ground on his head, shoulder and then wrist. He was pretty scratched up on his head from the fall, and very scared. His little heart was beating out of his chest. We got him calmed down and tried to get him to move all of his limbs to see if they were all working properly. They seemed to be, but he was still saying he was hurting. We thought we would let him watch a cartoon to see if he could get his mind off of it. He did well during that and then we took him up for a shower. He was still upset but seemed to be getting better. After the shower he wanted some crackers, so we got some for him and when he pushed himself up from his seat with his right wrist, he cried out in pain. I quickly got him ready and took him to the Steele Creek ER. They are so great there. They got him in quick and brought the xray machine into the room for him. He has two buckle fractures in his right wrist. They put a splint on it and told us to call the orthopedic the next day. He got really upset when they put the splint on and in between tears said, "but we have bandaids at home."

He didn't like the splint and tried to take it off several times before his appt. at 1 the next day.The doctor said we had options on how to treat him. Since it was a fracture, we could do a velcro splint thing or cast him for three weeks... His next question was, "How rough is he..." and we both looked at each other and said, "Let's cast it." He is one rough little boy. He now has a beautiful red cast.

He's been a real trooper over the last week. The white part of the cast isn't so white anymore, but he is a 4 year old boy! Only Grayson!
