About a month ago Nick fell off his scooter and did this to his arm...
Needless to say we rushed to the closet emergency room where they informed us that he would need to go to Primary Childrens Hospital and have surgery done to do this.....
3 pins in his poor little broken humerus.
He was such a trooper though, seriously we are proud of this little man! Here are a few more pics of his big adventure!
Here he is being super brave at Alta View ER. They put his arm in a temporary splint so he would be stable enough to travel up to Primarys!
Completely knocked out and ready to be wheeled into surgery! No mother should have to go through this just so you know! It broke my heart!
Recovering with some crackers and serious pain medication! Now we know morphine makes him itchy. Did I mention before how brave he is?!?
He was put in a soft cast for 1 week before the hard cast could be put on. Here is a pic of 1 of the 3 pins. Sorry if this makes you squeamish!
Ute Red was the color pick! He wore this cast for a couple of weeks and then because of some minor complications had to go in for another cast (that time blue was the chosen color) But he got it off yesterday and seems to be doing great!
We love you Nick! Thanks for being so tough & brave! No more scooter riding TFN!

Wow! That was a bad break! I bet that hurt! Poor Nick:( Those are some crazy looking pins. Sounds like quite the ordeal. I'm glad he was so brave and is doing better now.
Nick we are so glad you are all better now. You are a tough and brave kid! Be careful on your scooter if you ever get to ride again. Make sure to thank your parents for taking care of you!
