Josh broke his arm not once but twice. Poor kid!!
1- The first time he broke his arm was when he fell off the ledge in our back yard. He landed on some rocks which fractured his arm. We didn't realize it immediately when it happened, but later in the day he was still whimpering. Josh usually doesn't whimper that long after an injury. We took Josh to the emergency room and learned that he did break his arm. Since Josh was young and into stuff, we had to watch him. We wrapped his cast in a garbage bag to give him a bath. One day, I was tending to something else, Josh got his cast into peanut butter. I cleaned it up the best that I could, but the cast was getting soft. We took him to the doctor and they took the cast off. He had had it on long enough to do the job. That was great news to me.
2- The second time that Josh broke his arm was when he was riding his scooter at church and ran into Zack who was on a bike. Josh just earned his Arrow of Light and was playing outside getting ready to go home when the accident occurred. We took him to the emergency room and got it splinted. A few days later, he got his cast. We had a huge trip to Utah planned which was a little tough with a cast, but Josh adapted well. Josh was near a lot of water on our trip and seemed to keep the cast dry. We went to the lake to go fishing and caught a fish with that cast. We went to Lagoon, where we bagged his arm to go on the Rapids Ride. I didn't want to miss that ride. He took care of his cast even though we were super busy during that time. Josh's arm healed well and the cast did the job. He was really glad to get the cast off.
