Well, it's been a long time coming. Liam has filled the position of "first child to break a bone in our family", although he will be the first to tell you, "it is a fracture". Yes, spring break time in Illinois was made extra exciting with a slide down the slide from the tree house to the trampoline and a trip to the ER after putting out his left arm to brace himself for the landing. This all went down at our friends' house where Andy was visiting. Fortunately, Liam was in great hand with Andy, who has more experience with broken bones than I do. I got to get text and phone updates of the excitement since I was home in between work shifts that weekend. Liam was in a splint for a week before he got this awesome blue cammo cast. Now, he gets to rock this cast out until the beginning of May, and, if all looks well, will get it removed then. He is still able to play soccer, run around and be a kid. But, in school, he does get a "scribe" to write for him since Liam is a lefty and it's his left arm he broke. Liam is also a left thumb sucker, so it will be interesting to see if he goes back to that habit when the cast comes off.
