Arm Saga....

Being a mom I decided I would feel more comfortable going to Noah's own Dr. Besides his arm was looking very swollen around his elbow. So Monday we went to see Dr. G. I took the xrays with me. He looked at his arm, felt it, pushed on it,(SCREAM) turned it (SCREAM), said let me go look at the x rays, because it is acting like a fracture. He looked at the x rays and said there was no visible break, but it could be his growth plate which does not show up on xrays. He sent us to the orthopedist. Well, he looked at it, felt it , Pushed it (SCREAM), turned it (SCREAM) and said "I think he fractured the head of his radius" More xrays and sure enough he cracked the head of his radius. Well he is only in a sling, not a cast because of where it is it would stiffen his elbow to much. So we are in a sling for 3-4 weeks. the good news is he can get in the pool if he wants to. Which is great since we leave Saturday for the beach. I am glad that he is not in a cast because that would make a long summer. I will keep you updated on it.
