Don't Read If You Have a Weak Stomach

This was a very sad day for us. We were getting ready to have dinner with our wonderful friends enjoying the wonderful weather. It was beautiful outside so all the children were playing, Keagan was on the trampoline with a couple of other children and when all of a sudden he was screaming and running towards the deck yelling "it's so gross, it's so gross..." and we all thought that he had been stung by a bee but boy were we wrong. And boy was it gross. As the mom I must admit that I found it very upsetting watching my child be in so much pain and not being able to do anything about it. Thankfully we have wonderful friends that stepped up to take care of getting dinner served to all the kids and watched out brew while we took Keagan to the hospital. Keagan could not look at his arm. We were so lucky when we got the hospital they took him in right away. Keagan has not seen these pictures because it is all too fresh but I know that one day will want to see them.
I managed to get this picture while he was out right before they set it. The x-ray wasn't pretty either.
They had to put him out to reset his arm. They gave him what they call the "Micheal Jackson sleepy juice". It was amazing to see how quickly the medicine put him out. One min. he was talking to us the next he was out. They had us leave the room while they set it because apparently it is not pretty to watch.
It was a very long first night because of the pain that he was in but each day got better. The hardest part was that he couldn't move his arm and found that very frustrating. But he managed well. When things had finally settled down we found out what happend. Keagan and one our little friends were on the tramp. and the little girl wanted to do a trick so Keagan was stepping back to give her some room and stepped right out of the only opening on the enclosure and fell out backwards on his arm.
KR was getting in the snuggle action of trying to make sure that Keagan was feeling ok. LOL but he was so nervous that she would bump it.
Still looking good for Sunday. This is his air guitar. LOL In case you are wondering yes he choice the pink. He is a real man plus you have no idea how much attention you get when you have a pink cast on. (He is one smart cookie LOL)
I was so proud of how well Keagan did with his cast on. He was able to have it cut down to just below his elbow for the last 4 1/2 weeks because it was healing so well. I never once heard a complaint or words of frustration from him the whole time that he had it on. He even had a great time in Winnepeg with Uncle Tyler and Auntie Michelle. It was a very happy day when it finally came off now we just laugh at how much darker the air on that arm is but he is doing great.
