Our first broken bone



 Nathan fell at the park on Thursday and hurt his arm. We came home and iced it and he seemed ok. Of Friday, we went with aunt Llew to Cape Henlopen in Delaware. Nathan was fine until he shook some sand off his hands and grabbed his arm. So, Saturday I decided to take him to the ER to get it checked out.  They did lots of x-ray's and found a buckle fracture on his radius and another fracture on his elbow. His elbow never even hurt him. They had to cast it, and Nathan was a trooper!  He did it without any pain medication. Now he has a super cool cast for the next four weeks! 
**Update** We went back on for a follow up appointment, they took more x-rays and decided there wasn't a break in Nate's elbow after all. They cut the top part of the cast off and Nathan is loving having his elbow back!
