Isaac is one tough kid

Isaac slipped off the monkey bars at recess yesterday and fell backwards, catching himself with his hands behind him.

Isaac thought his arm "looked creepy" so he ran to the nurse. 

At the ER they told us that Isaac had broken the radius bone in his forearm.  They gave him some morphine, injected his arm with anesthetic and reset it.  Did you know that there is a real reason for those "chinese handcuffs?"  Only the doctors call them finger traps instead. 

Through it all, I was most impressed with Isaac..  He broke his arm, got shots, an IV, put in finger traps and had his arm manipulated and reset, even through all that pain, not once did he cry (he did say, "ow, ow, ow, ow, ow").  I wanted to cry.  But Isaac is tough and brave.  He was fabulous through it all.

Unfortunately, this means that we will definitely not be going skiing this month.
