Tough Break!

Yes, it happened...Greyson was riding his tricycle and hit an uneven sidewalk paver, that knocked him off of his bike...he landed wrong, and broke his arm.  Surprisingly, Greyson didn't even scream or cry!  He just said, "Momma it hurts!"  My heart sunk to my stomach, because by looking at his arm, I knew what happened...Thank goodness my hubby acted quick and called the paramedics!  Five minutes later, two kind men showed up and put a splint on Grey's arm. Long story short...we spent a long evening/night at Children's Hospital.  Greyson did extremely well with all that he had to endure!  The x-rays showed that one bone was broken, and another bone had to be reset.  In order to reset the one bone, the doctors had to sedate him.  We thank God that he was okay...things could always be worse!     

On our way to the ER...little did we know what a long night we were in for. 
Being a brave little boy....
He got to pick the color of his cast....he wanted red!
He's definitely going to be a righty, now!
The accident happened on a Friday evening, and by Monday we were back to work/school...Greyson's teacher sent this note home....
That's our boy! 
 He refused to wear this sling, I kinda don't blame him!!
Dear Greyson, 
You were such a brave little boy whenever you broke your arm.  Mommy & Daddy were so worried about you (Sissy too).  We learned a lot about you after this...you showed us that you have a high tolerance for pain (oh no!), and that you can adjust easily in a difficult situation. 

We love you with all our hearts! 
Mommy and Daddy
