We waited a few days after Christmas to have Austin take his new bike from Santa out for a ride. He was loving his new bike until he turned in the neighbor's driveway and fell off. He was going pretty slow so we didn't suspect a problem at first but quickly realized his arm might be broken. We took him to the ER then to an Orthopedic Surgeon who said his arm was broken above the elbow and that Austin would need surgery. Our brave little patient and his two nervous parents took him to the hospital very early on New Years Eve to get temporary pins placed in his arm. He had a splint and a sling for three weeks and then the pins were removed (very easily without surgery). Austin is doing so much better now. He doesn't have full use of his arm but is getting closer to that. He is still restricted at the playground but he is doing great. He says he will ride his bike again but for now he is looking forward to riding his scooter. He will be wearing more protective gear than ever I am sure:)
I can't forget Ryan. He loves his new scooter that looks like a fire engine and makes sounds as he rides.
