A New Meaning for Spring BREAK

Kadin was boasting the other day that he hadn't broken any bones. JINX!!! We spent 2 1/2 hours in the instacare yesterday evening. Check out his ring finger, it's a little off.


After closer inspection, the Dr. found that the base of his pinky was broken too.

Kadin was at his friend's house and they were riding scooters. The handlebars on the scooter Kadin was riding came off and he took a dive. His ring finger and pinky on his right hand have displaced fractures meaning they were broken and shifted. The doctor numbed his fingers and had to pull and move the bones back into alignment. He had several x-rays to make sure the bones were in line. Now his hand and arm are wrapped in a splint so he can't move his fingers and we have to go see a hand specialist next week to make sure all is well. The doctor is concerned because the breaks are near his growth plates. He just wants to make sure all is where it should be. All this happened about a half hour after Scott had left for a campout with the young men at Zion's so he doesn't even know about it yet.

Back to where it should be!

Ouch!! Poor Kadin! And poor you for having to deal with all that without Scott there! I hope everything heals quickly, that is too bad:(
