Russell has 2 broken arms

Last night Russell was playing outside at the neighbor's house with all the neighborhood kids. They were playing on an air filled thing and they would launch each other off. One person would sit on one end and the other person would jump on the opposite end. Russell got launched by a 12 year old and went flying. He didn't want to hit head first so he stopped himself with his hands.  As you can see his left hand was definitely broken. He also broke his right arm, both the radius and ulna. He missed his growth plate witch is a great blessing. He will go to the doctor on tuesday to see about some cast and make sure it all looks like it is healing well. He was put to sleep while they set his arm back into place so he didn't feel that at all. He has been very good about it all and is being very tuff and can't wait to show it off.

Just a little obvious that it is broken.
This is his temporary plaster cast. I am re-wrapping it because he said it was too tight.




We will have more pictures as soon as we can.
