Cast Your Mind Back

 Charles had his first big break, during an unfortunate zip line accident, he fell and broke his elbow. It was at our local park during a Mommy and me meet up. He had successfully jumped unto the zip line 3 times and the one time I turn my back... disaster! We had been having a great time until then.

Fortunately Daniel was told to go home early, (it was on July 3 and most of the crew was off for the holiday anyway) so he was able to take Charles to the emergency room. He came back a few hours later splinted and slung. I had to take him back in 3 days to get a real cast. They were worried about the break so they casted over his splint. I had never seen that before. Well in truth this is all new to me. 

Here he's getting prepped for the cast. He wanted black and white to represent a zebra, (currently his favorite animal) but they didn't have white as an option. So he chose black and pink.

 The crew waiting patiently.

We had it x-rayed and recast 10 days later and now he's sporting a waterproof cast. It should be named a water cast since it must be watered everyday or the material will stick to his skin. It's so fun pouring water down it. Here he's getting the old cast removed:

He was finally cleared and now can stop telling everyone that his arm is broken!
