Mikey's broken arm
Some of you have already heard that on Saturday morning Mikey broke his arm. We have a portable dishwasher that usually (not usually...Always!) is locked up in the bathroom so neither Honor or Mikey can mess around with it. Well.....Friday night everyone wasn't feeling great, we all have colds so Darren and I decided to leave the dishes until the morning and left the dishwasher in the kitchen instead of wheeling it back to the bathroom. Saturday morning comes around and Mikey decided to get up before everyone and make his way downstairs. Soon after he got downstairs Darren and I hear a thud, crash and Mikey screaming! He must have unlocked the dishwasher door, pulled it down and kept pushing it down because that's the only way we can figure the he pulled the whole machine over on it's door with the door on his arm. We are so lucky that it only got his arm! Because of how it fell on him it hit in 2 places, his hand and right above his wrist. I rushed over to the Urgent care with him while Darren stayed with Honor and Thorin. Luckily again we got there just in time before they got busy there and we were rushed from one place to the other. At first the doctor thought he was fine and would just have a bad bruise but sent us to x-ray anyway. After the x-rays we found out both bones were indeed broken right above the wrist. They rushed us over to the treatment room where they fitted him with a splint that hardened over 24hrs to conform to his arm, which is so much better than having to put him in a cast! He's miserable of course because he also has a cold and an ear infection right now so the poor thing is on Amoxi, tylenol and cold meds to keep him comfortable.
