Hi guys and gals. Some of you have met my little monkies at the last few Botcons. Well, last night, my younger took a spill off the monkey bars and broke his right forearm. Both bones. Spent most of last night and part of today at the ER and the Ortho's office. They're setting it in the morning. Please keep the little guy in your thoughts and prayers for us. Thanks.



PS: Sale thread impending. Gotta love insurance deductibles.

 

Ouch.


Good luck to both you and the kid.

 

My brother had the same thing happen to him when we were kids.

At least you're a great parent. I was the horrible big sister who laughed her ass off as her little brother lay in pain in the sand.

 

Usually I'm pretty stone faced and can keep my cool about stuff. This time is was all I could do to not freak out. It made me physically sick to look at his arm. It has a VERY unnatural bend about 1/3 of the way from his hand to his elbow. I still can't look at. At least it's something won't require pins and screws and all that.

 

Sorry to hear that.  
Hopefully he has a fast recovery.

 

My nephew broke his leg really badly a few years ago. It was a bad time for him, but he recovered. Your kid will too. I wish the best for him. I hope it didn't hurt too much.

 

Sorry to hear about that. Here's hoping he makes a quick recovery.

Best of luck.

 

Ouch!

Well I hope good luck to you and your kid. I've only broken a bone once in my life, so far...

 

I wish you the best of luck, also try going on a quest to find the swords Coinspinner or Woundhealer, thay might help.

You must have been a joy to your parents.

 

Ouch, good luck. That reminds me that I've been a pussy so much of my life that I've never broken a bone

 

HA! I've yet to brake a bone and I do many crazy things.now excuse me while i practice my tree jump.

 

Yikes! Here's to a quick recovery for the little guy!

 

I do lots of crazy stuff and I skate, do TKD, and sports like tackle football(the American) and soccer from time to time and I've never broken a bone


Oh wait... I have a scar on my cheek from when I was 1 and fell down some stairs...

 

You and every other kid in the United States.

 

not me actualy, i prefer my recless insanity to be jumping off of a large tree like a ninja, that and over using my flexibilty.

 

I've met lots of kids that pretty much never go outside

 

that sucks, and when i was in kindergarten i sprained my ankle from falling off the monkey bars.....

but nothing beats the time i busted my head open in a boune house......yea....how in the hell did i do that?  

 

Ehh, it's OK. I finally broke one like 2 years ago.  

 

UPDATE:
Back home from the hospital. Bones are set with his arm in a splint. Goes back for a check next Friday. If all's well, he gets a cast then. Thanks to all the well wishers!
