The first picture is of Hunter when he was admited to the surgery dept. The following 2 were after he woke up from being put out to reduce the wrist fracture. He wasn't feeling so hot.
July 21, 2008 around 9:30pm, Hunter got his first broken bone. He broke both bones in his left wrist playing catch with a football. Tues. July 22, we spent the day (8:30am-4:30pm) at the hospital in Fergus Falls. The doctor had to put him to sleep to get the wrist back in place. He was a trooper. He was scared, but was tough. He woke up with an IV in his right arm and a green (Cowboy green) cast on his left arm. He will go back in a week to get a re-check and then it sounds like it will have to be on for 4 weeks. At least it will be off for the start of the new school year. He is on some pretty strong meds for pain, and is sleeping on and off. He was so hungry all day. He wasn't allowed to eat last night or this morning. The last time he ate was supper last night. He was STARVING! After he was back from the surgery room, he was allowed water and apple juice which he drank fast. Then it was Popsicles and jello. Then it was 2 pieces of peanut and jelly toast which I think he swallowed whole. Next came more Popsicles and juice and a little can of lemon lime soda. He fell asleep on the way home and Ryan carried him into the house. He is getting to big for me to carry. He napped for a few hours and is now playing battleship with Hannah, Carter and Hannah's friend. Poor kid, no sports for awhile...
