Today was one of the hardest days I have ever had. It started out great but around 3:30 it took a fast turn in the opposite direction! Seth and Doran were jumping on the tramp while Brock and I were sitting on the deck. I looked over and Seth was climbing out of the trampoline and was holding Doran. He told me to get Brock in the car because Doran just broke his arm. I started freaking out and he told me I needed to stay clam so Doran would. I tried my hardest to stop crying and frantically got Brock in the car. Doran didn't even cry when it happened. However, by the time we got to the hospital the shock had wore off and the pain had settled in. When they put him on the bed and made him move his arm so it could rest on a pillow he started screaming in pain. Then I started crying again.
The nurse said he needed an IV so he could have pain medication. Once that kicked in he was much better. He still hurt if he moved at all, but he could atleast sit and be ok.
After the x-rays he wanted to leave the light off and watch tv on our phones. He watched an episode of beyblade and some dragon ball z. He got a little loopy and chatty after he was done watching. It was kind of cute in a twisted sort of way.
We had to wait a long time after the x-rays for the orthopedic surgeon. He was in Sandy and it took him over an hour and a half to get down. By the time he got there Doran had fallen asleep. He woke up once they stuck the oxygen in his nose and was not happy about it at all. Then they 'sedated' him so they could set his bone and splint it. I say 'sedated' because he was screaming and thrashing while they were setting it and while he was supposedly sedated. It was so awful. When the doctor lifted his arm I could see the bone pressing through on the bottom of his arm. I started crying again.
Once he was in the splint cast they took the sedation off. He was so funny. He kept asking people to give him five. He was and is still in a lot of pain. He is very excited to choose a cast on Wednesday. At first he was adament that he wanted blue like Jayce (who broke her thumb and tore a ligament last week and is in a blue cast), but now he says he wants it to be his favorite color, which is once again red.
He loves th sling. He was even willing to give some fake smiles once he got it.
The hospital gave him a stuffed monkey. He loves it. He decided to name him Sharky 2. How original!
Brock was an angel through all of this! I think it would be really hard to be three and be stuck in a little hospital room for so long. He was so good and Seth and I were so proud of him!
Sleeping on the couch! Doran was excited to be able to have a sleepover!
The after x-ray. You can still see the breaks, but much better!

Poor little Dor Dor! Tell him I love him and give him hugs and kisses for me! That makes me so sad that he was in so much pain.
Poor guy! When I heard about him breaking his arm, I felt so bad. Tell him I love him too.
What a hard day for all of you. I am glad he is feeling better.
