Hi All! I wasn't able to check in this morning due to work requirements. Those were due to Da Kid's accident yesterday. After we got back from the Spring Camporee, he was invited over to a neighbor's to play. Another kid showed up and Jack came home with a broken arm! It seems that Jack was on the ground and the other two were up a tree, doing stupid things when the other visitor slipped and fell. He went head first, but his foot caught in a crotch of the the tree limb and it left him about 8 feet off the ground, ready to be a lawn dart. The neighbor kid wouldn't or couldn't do anything, so our Boy Scout immediately climbed up and pulled the kid from the his prediciment. The kid then jumped to the ground, but in the process pushed Jack. The limb Jack was on broke and he fell about 8 feet to the ground, slightly fracturing his left arm just above the wrist and getting his bell rung too.

The kid that Jack helped proceeded to laugh at him as he sat stuned on the ground...and then stepped on his right hand, "by accident". The neighbor kid took Jack into the kichen, gave him a couple of ice cubes, and never told his folks. I happened to call just then and asked the kid to send Jack home. He did...he made Jack walk about 200 yards, stunned and with a cracked arm! Man am I pissed!

I took him into the ER and met the Duchess there. She infused him, they x-rayed his arm and he was really suffering. He is still hurting.
