Broken arm

I wanted to show a picture of Josh's cast and tell of our little adventure.
Last week as I had said earlier the kids were really sick, so I take Lexi in to the Doctor Wed. morning, while there Josh was a wild man, climbing anything possible, for one split second I turned my back to talk to the Doctor just as he decided to climb on the top of a chair and launch himself from one chair to the other. I did not see how he fell but he just kept crying and crying. What worried me is that Josh does not cry, he will cry for a second but he is to busy to really stop and wail when injured. The Dr. was positive that Josh did not fall on his head so we figured he had to be ok. The appt was not done and I was still helping the Dr. examine Lexi so I put Josh down on a chair, HE DID NOT MOVE, not an inch he just sat in the chair. Warning bells went off like crazy in my head. Josh will not sit, not for one second not for food not to play(I sound like Dr. Seuss!) When he just sat in the chair I knew something was wrong but I thought that I would just ignore it:). So we get in the car and we are on out way home when I also noticed that he was not making a noise, he was not screaming or kicking my seat, also HUGE red flags. I looked in the rear view mirror and I noticed that he was just holding his arm and whimpering. Hoping for a sprang I decided to get home and get both Josh and Lexi in bed. After naps he woke up happy and did not seem to be favoring his arm, happy I threw him and Lexi in the car picked up Sam and headed over to guitar practice. While Sam was at guitar I decided to go and visit a friend, while there I noticed that Josh would not put any weight on his arm and was favoring it. When Sam was done with guitar it was late I was tired I needed to go home and feed everyone but I just had a nagging feeling to have it checked. SO we ran over to the clinic the Dr. was closing the office but he was very kind and said that he would see us. Before he even got the Xray done he was showing me where the arm was definitely broken. Poor kids I felt so bad. The Dr. put him in a soft cast and once again we started home, we had not even made it 5 miles down the road when Sam informed that Josh had taken the cast off, DANG. I was too tired to turn around so we went home and then took him back the next day for another cast, 2 days later he pulled that cast off, I have no idea how he was able to do it. So we are on cast 3, he picked green because it was a tractor cast so grandma and grandpa Moyes got little tractor stickers for his cast and he loves them. Sadly I feel this may not be the last broken bone for this little man.
AGHHHHH just wrote this all up and I can not get it to load a picture. I will try again tomorrow!
