Andrew's Arm

So Andrew's arm.... Saturday night he was perched on the arm of the couch. He kept saying, "Look, Mom! This is hilarious!" He was trying to show me how he can fall backwards off the arm of the couch onto the couch. He lost his balance and fell forward onto the floor. I thought he hit his head pretty hard but he was complaining about his arm. A few minutes later Joseph was holding the screaming kid and I saw a bump by his elbow. After a quick blessing and a swig of ibuprofen...Joseph and Andrew were off to the ER. (I'm really sick of the hospital AND the bills!!!) They x-rayed and sent him home with a sling. They called us on Sunday and said we should get it checked out by a bone dr...looked like a fracture. We went to the doctor on Monday and he said it was a buckle fracture and it will heal on its own in only a week or two. I'm seriously sick of this...at least we get to pay our bills with our credit card...we are racking up serious disney rewards.
