The Ely "curse" for Cam...

The last time we went to Ely Cameron got hurt.

Of course it was self inflicted, as he was promised the chance to hold Ema's hand if he let Amy pull his dangling tooth out. Yuck. She did... and he let her. And he held Em's hand.

He bled and it was all ok.

This time... it was self inflicted once again... but... umm... yeah... OUCH!

He tried to convince me it wasn't bad. LOL! He didn't cry (not in front of his best friend! nor could he take the risk of not being able to continue to stay and play!) but it was undoubtingly broken!

We had only been at the Sorensen's MAYBE 3 hours. He decided to show off his new somersaulting skills. I am sure it was a crazy double flip kind of a thing, knowing Cam, but he just landed wrong.

We had no first aid supplies (his momma had ignored the prompting from the Spirit to grab the First Aid kit off the steps in the garage as we left home :P )...

so we used popcicle sticks, tape, Motrin & a bag of Vegetable Stir-Fry to make him comfortable until we returned home. (We were advised to not seek medical attention in small town Ely... LOL!!)

We spent most of today (Sunday) between the InstaCare and the ER getting it taken care of.

Yes it is broken. Surprised? I didn't think so.

LUCKILY! He is only being splinted (for now... cross your fingers... your good ones ;) ... it stays that way when we follow up with the Orthopedic Surgeon) so HIS baptism in a month may be able to proceed without the extra complications of a cast. :)

My poor boy! His bones are just being very kind to him this last year! :( But I must admit I am AMAZED at his high pain threshhold! What a tropper!
