Not Exactly The Summer Break I Was Looking Forward To

Over the weekend we took a trip to Nashville to visit Tommy's parents. We were not there two hours before Tyler fell and injured his wrist. He also was unable to put any weight on his left leg. After about five hours in the Emergency Room and several x-rays later...the doctor informed us Tyler had a broken wrist. He also splinted his leg, since the x-ray was showing clear but there were concerns about him not being able to walk. We called our doctor on Sunday and were told to call the office first thing Monday to try to schedule an appointment with an orthopedist. Lucky for us, after hauling it back to Knoxville on Sunday- we were able to get an appointed to be casted today. We were relieved to find out that Tyler's leg appeared to only be really sore and that he would only have to be in the cast for four weeks.

Tyler in the ER waiting to go for x-rays late Friday night.

After the splints.

Passed out on the way back to North Carolina tonight after getting the cast. He was exhausted after nights of restless sleep!

Before bath tonight he insisted on us signing his new green cast. In two weeks we will return the the doctor's office for him to get a shorted one that will stop right below the elbow.
