Andrew's Broken Arm

Poor Andrew.  First he fractured his tail bone.  That took four weeks to heal and he was finally able to play football again, but they still didn't put him in a game.  Now it's too late, because in practice last Wednesday another player hit him in the arm with his helmet.  The Urgent Care didn't do a very good job because they said there was no fracture.  He was still in a lot of pain.  We took the advice of a retired pediatrician at church and took him to an orthopedic surgeon.  It turns out there is a fracture and he needed a cast.  He has to wear the cast for a month and then a brace for another month and will not be able to play football for the rest of the season.  He is loyal, though, and continues to attend practices and games and works as an assistant to the coach.  This is after his first day at school with his cast and it's already filled with signatures.  We're so sorry you got hurt, Andrew!
