Broken What???

Ty broke his nose this week. This is a picture on Day 2. Some of you may remember that when Luke was two he did the same thing. How does this happen to two of my kids...? I wouldn't think it is that common of an injury to children.
Anyway, Wednesday afternoon we were at the park playing with friends. The boys were "podracing". Not exactly sure what that entails. They were around a corner and kinda out of sight. Then I heard Ty screaming and the other kids were coming to get me. Ugh. What a horrible feeling.
Ty is such a tough kid. Hasn't complained at all. He looked in the mirror and exclaimed, "Mom, look at my face!" But thats it. What a trooper. It has to kill.

Day 1


...and here is Luke with his broken arm. Yup thats right. In the last month they have both broken something. He did this on August 27th. Again, we were at the park...(starting to think its bad luck there) and Luke was trying to do the monkey bars. He slipped and fell and tried to catch himself. He broke his humerous (the big bone in the top of the arm) through is growth plate and broke the tip of the ulna (little bone in the bottom part of the arm). He got his hard cast off this week and is now in a soft cast. For now we will just have to watch him and make sure there are no complications from the top brake. Keep your fingers crossed.

He never complained about his cast at all. He didn't love getting it off however. But he is starting to be willing to excercise his arm when we take the soft cast off for baths. He is supposed to have to off more and more over the next three weeks and do exercises all along the way. Man. What a month!
