Poor guy



Last night, Dale and Parker we having their normal evening wrestling match and Parker hurt his arm. At first we thought it was just one of those hurts that was short term, but when he wouldn't stop crying about it and it started to swell, we decided a trip to the Emergency Room was probably in order.

After a 4ish hour stay, we left with a maybe fractured elbow, a splint, and directions to follow up with an orthopedist. The doctors couldn't agree on if it was broken or not based off the xrays, but since he's just a little guy who's still growing, they put a splint on it regardless, which I think is a good assessment.

All I know he's definitely in pain when any sort of pressure or movement is required of his right arm, but he's being a huge trooper. Just a minute ago, he said "I got a broken arm, but I still have this arm (held up his left) so I can still play. Look at me!"

I'll keep you updated on the follow up.
