Can't Hold Charlie Back

Charlie has his second fractured bone (his first fracture was on his baby toe which only needed a boot).  We think it was due to a few sequence of events.  First he fell hard on his elbow on St. Patrick's Day at the pump track, and then fell again on the same arm at the Children's Park a few weeks later while jumping off of the swing without having his footing right as he landed.  The second fall did him in and he fractured his bone just under his elbow.

He was in a lot of pain at first.

The Orthopedist suggested a Splint for two weeks to keep the arm stable so it can heal, but we opted for a cast, just to be safe.

He's definitely not happy about having to wear the cast during lacrosse season, but luckily it's not for the entire season.

A week later and it's not keeping him from playing soccer!  Just a little padding and off he goes.  Nothing can hold Charlie back from playing sports.
