UP:
Ethan's First Communion in the morning. Mark made a nice brunch for the family. We got the house ready for our SA friends who were flying in that afternoon. Then Mark and the boys went on a bike ride. Lucas learned to ride without training wheels about two weeks ago. He's been practicing up and down the street and doing great. So Mark takes them on a longer ride towards Jacob's school.
Then I get the phone call. "He's alright, BUT..."
An hour later, we know that Lucas has a fractured ulna (small arm bone) near the wrist. Luckily, children's bones are still pliable (compared to an adult) and it is not a bad break. He's in a soft cast now and we have an appointment with an orthopedist on Monday - likely for more x-rays and a hard cast.
It's his right arm, and he is right-handed, but can still hold a pencil with the temp cast. We'll see what they can do about his grip when they put the hard cast on. I hear there may be some waterproof options too, which would be nice as we head into summer and spending lots of time at the pool. Oh crap. I just remembered we have reservations at the Great Wolf Lodge the week after school gets out! I'll have to ask about that too!
UP:
We got back from the ER at the same time our friends arrived. John is an amateur golfer and was in town for one night to try to qualify for the Byron Nelson Tournament. Carrie and I became fast friends after meeting at a party (now that's a funny story!). They have two sweet boys - Cameron (almost 2) and Carter (7 mos). We had a chaotic night and next day, but fun nonetheless. Always good to see friends!
