Broken

Gavin had his follow up doctor's appointment yesterday for his arm.  The Doctor looked at the x-ray, then at his hand and saw how the last 10 days in the splint wasn't holding up very well and said that he recommended we cast it.  He said it has been after the initial 5 days of swelling and the break was really a bad one, and the splint wasn't holding up, so we decided to cast his arm.  He chose red and it was really neat to watch the process of the cast being done.  It takes like 5 minutes and is all pliable at first then hardens.  He needed to be in it for 3 more weeks and then we can get it cut off and get another x-ray to see how it looks.  After we took the splint off he was kind of freaking out and saying it still hurt, but as soon as the cast was set, he was ready to go again and hasn't complained about it since.  What a little trooper he is.
