SO..... Yesterday we went to Grandma and Grandpa Jones house for dinner... just like every week. Terry went out to tell the kids it was time for dinner. Mario decided to crawl over and climb down the step ladder beside the tramp. Some how, we are still a little fuzzy on the details, he fell off the tramp and his arm and the step ladder became very close friends. He began to cry and like all parents we were not sure whether this was drama or real. We gave him a pack of ice and laid him on the couch, hoping that the draw of dinner would help "heal" his arm. We knew something was a miss when 10 minutes later he was still crying and not interested in the dinner. (Anyone that knows Mario, knows that food is his best friend, he is ALWAYS hungry). Terry took him to the hospital emergency room and 5 and a half hour later we know that he has an "acute right supracandylar elbow fracture". I felt so bad for him...It's his right hand, although he has managed to still control the remote to the tv, play his game boy, and eat. I guess 7 months isn't so bad, although Terry's mom is claiming 37 years of no broken arms, legs, or such.... but I know about a call to 911 by a 5 year old, and a few broken noses, and a mailbox and head instance, as well as a kazoo instance. So... I don't think 7 months is so bad???... What do you think?

oh what a bummer. I hope he is okay!
7 months isn't too bad at all! I seem to remember hearing about a few of those instances too lol. I hope it's not too bad and he gets all better soon!
hey! it was a really BIG Beetle!! Give Mario a hug for me! Feel better kiddo.
Poor, Mario! Hope he heals up fast!
So far our boys have followed the track record established by my family...no broken bones, but if they decide to play football in a few years I'm sure that they will follow after Steve and have one too many concussions! Let's hope not on the football AND concussions!
