Well, it's our first broken bone. Trace was simply playing in the backyard with a friend of theirs (Josiah) and he fell into the grass just right and broke his bone right above the elbow. It's been a rough few days of sleeping for him since he can't get comfy and finally he was able to get his cast on. I think he will have a lot of relief with it stabilized now. He's been very tough and the worst part was setting the bone for the cast since it moved a hair when it hit the ground.
With 5 boys, I'm sure we are bound to a few broken bones along the way but we've had a good track record so far.
I've been applying Comfrey leaf oil and giving him tea. It's called the bone healer and I'm praying it speeds the healing for him. I can't quite get to the elbow with the oil so we are just doing our best!
Sorry you hurt sweet boy. But, I guess getting out of your 2nd grade school work isn't so bad!
