Tanner's bike

We bought Tanner a bike for his birthday, but decided to get it for him now since his birthday is in the winter time.  He was really excited and loves it.  He is really good too for it being his first time.  This is him riding it after we got it home.


 He was doing really good and then went to stop. Alan had taught him how to brake. He put his foot down and turned the wheel at the same time so he ended up falling off and broke all three bones in his arm.  We thought he just hurt his foot at first since that is what he was crying about.  We got him to walk and then when we brought him inside he was complaining of his elbow hurting.  He cried for 30 minutes and wanted to go bed.  He would cry harder when you touched or lifted his arm.  We decided to take him to urgent care.  They took xrays and told us it was a type 1 or type 2 break.  He either would need a splint or surgery to put a pin in.  They wanted us to go up to primary childrens.  We went up there and they took more xrays and said it was his radius.  They put a splint on and then we were to come back in a couple of days for a cast.  We are glad it was not surgery and that he had a helmet on.  We will be getting him elbow and knee pads.

Waiting for them to start putting the cast on.  They told us here he had a fracture in all three bones.

Starting.  Alan and I have never seen a cast put on before so I took pictures. 

He choice red like lightning mcqueen.

He didn't want to look at the camera. All done and on the way home.  He told us while we were driving he wanted green on his other arm.  Silly kid.
