Good bye Zac's Cast

After 4 weeks of wearing this cast...Zac finally got to get it off!!!  He was so excited to be able to straighten his arm again!

They let him wear ear protection  while they were sawing the thing off.  

The kids all got suckers and then we went to visit dad at work since we were right there...

Zac still couldn't really straighten his arm (he can almost all the way now.) 

That night the kids were going to try sleeping on the trampoline.  So I let them stay up later than usual because it is light until 9:30 here.  They were outside playing on the swingset and I heard Emery start screaming.  I ran out there and she was on the ground saying her arm hurt.  

She was screaming and crying for over and hour.  But it wasn't swollen.  My first thought was that her arm was broken but we decided to wait to bring her in because it was late at night...and because she is sometimes really dramatic.  Also I thought there was no way she broke her arm the day Zac got his cast off.  So we waited till the next day after her piano lesson and after a movie that we were going to see.

 The kids didn't last on the tramp.  There was lots of fighting and coming in and going out and finally around 12:30 when Zac came in crying because Emery had his light stick we thought "That's IT!!!"  So we made them all come in and sleep inside.  Maybe we will try again in like 5 years.  :)

The next day we brought Emery in to the Dr. and sure enough it was broken.  Both the bones in her wrist were broken.  Poor girl.
