Worked all day in the shop cause I still have tons of work to get out next week. Settle into the old living room, looking up a recipe to make some hot buttered run mix.
Phone rings, it's my son's buddy. My kid broke is leg at this place called Sky High..........yeah..........a trampoline place that I gave him permission to go to.
So we head to the emergency room, got there just after the aide car got him there. Snapped the tibia and the fibula clean thru. Almost thru the skin. It was nasty looking. They set it back straight and we decided to try to go the cast route for 6-8 weeks over surgery. Since his growth plate isn't closed yet at the top of the tibia it would be more difficulty to put a rod in. We are going to hope the long cast therapy works. It means weekly xrays. Said they would know in 2-3 weeks if they would still need to do surgery. Hope not.
Poor kid, is all about baseball. Made a select team (don't ask how much that costs) has been going to winter conditioning workouts. Hope he can salvage a season but healing is the most important thing.
Anyway, he had to stay in the hospital tonight so they can monitor swelling. It's 1:48, going to sleep so we can go back in the morning. Hopefully it won't be all day before he can come home.
Maybe Rep will post the xray pics tomorrow.....or ahhhhhhhh later today.:Sleeping:
