My monkey can't climb Monkey Bars!

I got a phone call on Friday afternoon from Tommy’s school, and they said that he fell off the Monkey bars! I was so scared, I hurried up and got ready and made Tomas hurry up so we can get there ASAP! I was so worried…When I finally got there, I found Tommy all sad looking in the nurse’s office. I asked him if it hurt and he said yes… I swear I was about to start crying just seeing my baby boy like that LI asked him what happened, and he said he fell off the monkey bars…I asked him if it was his first time on them, and he said yeah. He said he slipped off the 3^rd bar and fell right on his left elbow – OUCH! He had his arm in a sling that they made for him with some ice on it to keep it from swelling. I hugged him so tight! I just wanted him to stop hurting and to start getting better.

The nurse said that he might have a fracture, so I’d have to take him to get X-rays done on his elbow…We took Alyssa out of school that day too, cause we didn’t know how long we would take at the doctor’s office. On our way out of the school, just about every teacher and about 5 students went up to him and asked him if he was okay and asked what had happened… they all told him that they hoped he’d get better soon J He was famous that day, one of Alyssa’s former teachers had sent me a message on Facebook saying that everyone was talking about it – she just didn’t know that it was Tommy.  I got a hold of his pediatrician and she said that they couldn’t see him, cause they won’t get X-ray results back till the following week. So we went to a Care Now and they were able to X-ray both elbows and found that nothing was broken! J we were so relieved! Tommy wanted a cast, but then I told him all that comes with it, and he changed his mind, so he was happy to not get a cast too!

I know my son is okay, but OMG I was freaking scared! I’m just glad it wasn’t any more serious than what it was. I’m just really happy his okay now…yes still a little sore, but he’s getting better every day… He’s a tough monkey…a monkey that can’t climb the monkey bars J
