Ouch!!!!

Well tonight Riley took the go-ped to go to his friends and right after he left he called and asked if Andrew or I could come and help him. I could tell something was wrong and I asked if he was ok. He said the wheel locked up on the go-ped and he flew over the handlebars. I jumped in the car and went and picked him up. He had gotten scraped up pretty bad but his wrist was hurting him alot. He kept laughing, yelping in pain, and complaining. It then started to swell so I told him I was taking him to urgent care to get it xrayed.

We were there forever but they finally got it xrayed and the verdict is that it crushed one of the bones in his wrist and it is pushing into the joint and may have damaged or/and also pushing into the growth plate so he is now facing surgery to repair the damage. They splinted it, gave him pain pills and reffered him to surgery. It costed a whopping $650 and now we are facing hospital and surgery costs. Triple Ouch.

Sigh.......

Teenagers.........

He did wait until he was just shy of 16 to have his first broken bone.
Too bad it had to be a such doosy.
Will keep you posted on this developing story.

We will be talking to the Ortho in our home town on Monday.
