Poor Sweet Boy

At Nathanael and Grace's birthday party Jonathan fell from a picnic bench. (He wasn't even standing, jumping or climbing; just sitting!) He hurt his wrist so we got to spend the evening in urgent care.

Poor sweet boy


Getting xrays was kind of cool. His friend "Fuzzy" was scared until Jonathan explained that the xrays were just like taking pictures!


They decided it wasn't broken but it was swollen so they put this hard splint on it and said for him to visit his doctor in a couple of days.

He did visit his doctor and the swelling had mostly gone down but they still wanted him to wear the brace for a couple of weeks just to be sure. He wore it for about a week and then I realized that he kept pushing the splint up higher so he could use his wrist. If he was doing that it obviously wasn't bothering him anymore so we removed the brace. He was happy to get back to normal.

By the way, the picture of him in the car where he was not buckled, I took the picture and THEN buckled him in. Just so you know!
