Last night my 12 yr old went snowboarding. He had a little accident and this morning we took him to the doctor for xrays on his wrist. There are no visible fractures of the radius or ulna (long bones of the arm) but they are worried about the growth plate where the bones meet the wrist. The swelling is pretty bad so it is in a splint for now. We will see the orthopedic surgeon on Monday.
It could have been something a lot worse so we are looking on the bright side and today I'm thankful for:
Good friends
Ice Packs
Good doctors
Modern Medicine
Xray machines
Tough kids
Ibuprofin
Dr. Pepper
Laughter
What I'm NOT thankful for? Ski Resort First Aid people who let an injured 12 year old sit in the lodge for 3 hours WITHOUT an icepack!!!
It's been a long 24 hours. I need a weekend.

Way to look at the bright side! I hope he's doing better. I hate when my kids are hurting.
Hey! thanks for coming to visit! That's funny that you knew my husband. I'll have to mention you. What's your maiden name?
Zogmaister. No really. It is!
What a wild child! Hope all goes well on Monday!
Ooooo.....ouch. that sounds familiar. Only add a compound fracture, 7 screws, and a metal plate. See? Things could be worse.
OWIE! All good things to be thankful for.
Glad you played along :)
