The Saga Continues....

So, we thought 'our storm' was over around here. What else could possibly go wrong? After the last 7 weeks of illness and injury we thought maybe we were due for some good luck. Spring is coming, and with that comes a new refreshing outlook, right? Yeah, not so much. Creighton broke his arm. We spent the morning in Iowa City at the doctor and Mercy Hospital getting xrays. He has a break on his right forearm just above the wrist. Boy vs. Bunkbed. Boy 0, Bunkbed 1. It hasn't caused him much discomfort, but everytime he figures out that he can't do something, he gets frustrated. He has a temporary 'cast' until Monday when we go back for his hard cast. It is swollen now so they can't put the hard cast on until the swelling goes down. Otherwise, the cast would be too loose once the swelling reduced. So the splints and bandages that he has on now are elastic enough to flex with the swelling. On Monday, he will get the good old hard cast from his fingers almost to his elbow. 6 weeks of keeping it dry and clean. Yeah right! We'll try our best! Thank goodness it isn't summer yet!!
