Broken Arm

Connor fell off the monkey bars at school and broke his arm. The orthopedic doctor said it was broken in two places. We feel pretty bad because we were unsure if it was broken and he didn't see a doctor until that night. I should've known when the first thing he wanted to do when he got home was to lay down with a blanket and then he wouldn't eat dinner because he thought he was gowing to throw up.

Here are the good and bad of breaking his arm:

Cons:
-It hurt.
-He can't ride his bike or play basketball.
-It takes longer to do things that use his hands.
-It is going to cost his parents some $.

Pros:
-He only has to wear the cast for 3 weeks.
-The cast is waterproof. He can even swim in it!
-His friends can sign it.
-He can easily earn rewards at school for wearing red on Fridays because of his cast color.
