First Cast

Gabe fell yesterday while playing on the McDonald's playland. He cried mighty hard and long about his arm hurting, and then he wouldn't use it for the rest of the day. He wouldn't use it when he woke up today either, so off to get an x-ray.

It is awesome that nothing is broken. However, his elbow is sprained, and in order to protect the ligaments from further injury, he has to be casted for 2 weeks. You can see by his face how he felt about that. He is slightly happier now with some signatures to show, but he is pretty bummed.

No swimming. That's what I keep thinking. No swimming for 2 weeks. Something of a death knell to those words. Y'all pray.

Poor Gabey! I'm sure these 2 weeks will fly by for him (and you!)

Wow, what a bummer for little Gabriel. I'm sorry he got hurt.

No swimming for 2 weeks IS a death knell. What's gonna happen to your tan??

whoa! he grew up--he looks so much like andy now! anyway, poor guy--but is he loving being special because he doesn't have an arm? a girl in lexi's class broke her arm and everyone was giving her so much attention that lexi came home and said she wished she could break her arm!
