Benjamin - Compound Left Arm Fracture and Surgery




Today at Church Benjamin fell off the steps, our climber, and broke both bones in his left arm and had a compound fracture as well. I think that means it broke the skin, which it did. He had surgery today at 2pm and they cleaned his bone and skin and then straightened them. I'll post those later. These shots are ER pre surgery shots. Yuck!!




Pray for him as he recovers. He's coming home Monday morning. I'm headed to the hospital for the night. We're renting some movies.

Dear Benjamin, When you do something you sure do know how to do it big. We couldn't believe what we saw when we saw the pictures. We will be praying for you and hope your arm gets better very fast so you can run and jump some more, just don't fall.
Love you! Papa and Grandma

Benjamin,
If yoy keep breaking your arms you won't be able to play soccer when you get older. I hope it doesn't hurt to bad.
