Benjamen's Surgery











My poor Benjamen has had a full couple of weeks! First on his birthday he got hit in the head with a golf club and ended up getting two staples put in his head. Then 2 weeks later he was baptised. THEN, this past Sunday, he fell off of a freezer(why he was up there, i do not know) and put his arm out to catch his fall--bad idea!!! His humurous bone(the bone between his shoulder and elbow) snapped in half and his arm twisted all the way around, also dislocating his shoulder. Poor guy! Anyway, we took him to the emergency room where they took the x-rays and informed us they would have to transfer us to a children's hospital so a pediatric ortho surgeon would have to operate that night. He had two pins put in his arm to hold his bone together and they will be there for 3 weeks. He cannot do PE or recess for 9 whole weeks. He is going to hate that! I documented his day from when we first got to the hospital to his ride in the ambulance to his post-surgery.

He looks about 3 shades of green and rather sorry for himself! Poor kiddo. I hope he heals quickly and well.
