Oh Jack.

My sweet little boy. Remember my cool new barstools? Well he decided to lean back on one of them because he was "so tired", and he fell off. And they are really tall. He was screaming bloody murder and clutching his arm. We finally got him calmed down by giving him an ice pack, a popscicle, and daddy's lap. Two hours later he was still favoring it so I took him to instacare right before it closed.

The doctor examined him and said it looked pretty bad, there was a nasty bruise on the underside of his arm I hadn't seen because Jack wouldn't let me move his arm much, so he decided to x-ray it.

Jack was so brave, I was nervous because he doesn't usually do well with strangers. The guy explained the machine to Jack and what it would take pictures of. So he took three different pics in different positions and then let Jack see them on the computer. He thought it was so cool.

They couldn't see a brake or a fracture, but said sometimes it is hard to see in kids, so we are to keep it in a sling until Monday and see how he acts with it then. The doc said he was shocked nothing was broken.

All he could talk about for the next few hours was how neat the x-ray machine was andhow much he loved his new "swing" (sling).
