A Pereira Milestone

Jake fell off the tire swing at a playground on Saturday.  It wasn’t the scariest or most dramatic accident we have experienced with these boys, but this happened to be the first one to require x-rays and a cast!  I knew it would inevitably happen at some point.  Bringing him to the ED brought back awful memories for Jason taking Sam there when he has been so sick, so it really made us THANKFUL that this was not a scary or serious visit.

Jake was very brave and enjoyed recounting the many tv shows he watched during his lengthy wait at the ED.  Wonderful.

He is so proud of his cast and x-ray, which shows his fractured radius and ulna.  It will be a challenge for him to continue working on his handwriting for the next 4 weeks, and sadly he will miss half of the swim lessons we signed up for that start this week.  So sorry this happened to you buddy!  You have been a great sport about it so far.
