Feb. 6, 2009: My oldest, Kenton, was playing at recess today after lunch on the rock climbing wall and broke both bones in his left forearm and both bones in his right wrist! He fell and tried catching himself with both hands to the ground..OUCH!! He is doing really good. They were able to re-align the bones very nicely...even the ones in the right wrist that were overlapped a bit! They are in splints right now and can't have casts until the swelling goes down. He has an appointment on Monday to get the casts.Feb. 9 Update: He got a cast on his left arm, but his right arm is still a temporary one, but they put one layer on. They want to make sure it is healing properly first. That is the one that was broken at the wrist, where the bones were overlapping in the x-ray. We have an appointment scheduled on Tuesday, Feb. 17, to get a cast on that arm.
More difficulties: Last night Kenton and Kathryn both got Croup!!! We went in to the doctor today and they gave them a shot and hopefully tonight will be a better night.
Thanks everyone for all your prayers!!! His classmates already made him a get well soon poster and he has recieved cards and treats from neighbors and friends as well! Kenton, everyone loves you so much!!!

Oh no!!!! Now the croup on top of everything else????? OH my, our prayers are with you. Wish with all our hearts that we could be there to help out. Don't be afraid to ask for help in your ward family. All our love, Mom and Dad
Oh my gosh, Theresa! These pictures are awful! I am so sorry for you and Kenton. My little brother broke both arms when he was seven (2 separate accidents, days apart) and I remember how hard that was for him. We'll pray for you and hope he heals quickly. So sorry!
