How do we fly down an icy mountain on 2 fiberglass sticks and make it out unscathed and 3 days later turn up with a broken wrist on flat ground!?  This poor guy was playing soccer at recess today and broke his fall with his left wrist.  A few hours later we found ourselves at Children’s Mercy getting x-rays and a splint.  Next week he will get a permanent cast.  This is brutal for a sports fanatic!  I think he’s already bored to tears and we’ve only been home an hour.  Diagnosis:   compaction fracture distal end of the left radius.  Once again…

What is it with our bad luck on this playground anyway!?  The cool part was Drew got to ride in a wheel chair out of the school building and Mrs. Vanderslice made an awesome splint out of a School Nurse Supplies catalog and was the envy of the staff at Children’s Mercy ER.  Way to go Bev!  And on a positive note, he’s right-handed so he’ll be able to do his school work or maybe that’s a negative depending on who you ask 😉

This was Drew in much happier times yesterday at his Valentine’s party at school…

We are looking forward to seeing this smile again very soon!  We love you Drewy!
