Xander's Broken Arm

This is how everything started. At the park, we were going to play a ripstick dodgeball game that dad made up whereas if you get hit you give the ripstick to who hit you, or if you fall off dodging the ball. Our park has a sidewalk surrounding the entire thing and through the middle twice in different locations the basketball court is almost immediately surrounded(three of four sides are touching) by on section of space. Xander goes around the long way to play the game on the basketball court and goes behind a bush. What happened here only Xander knows exactly, but here's what I got: He was about to fall off, so jumped off so he would land on his feet. He slipped on some gravel when he landed, and broke his arm. Our friend that was with us, Quin, called his mom that Xander broke his wrist and started running home. The rest of us started walking with Xander. Xander's wrist(which we found out later to actually be his arm) looked crooked, and I hated to look back on it. When we got home, our moms(Quin's) were waiting outside. Max and I go inside while Xander, Mom and Amelia waited outside. Max and I go inside and max starts playing wii. That was his way of calming down from the shock we were all in. I let him have the first turn so I could soak everything in. As my mind calmed from the shock the happenings made me start sobbing. I had already shed a few tears on the way home, but that didn't even change my breathing. Now my breathing was ragged. I start calming myself down. I hear a siren outside and tell max that its probably an ambulance for Xander. A little bit later I started reading, and barely after that mom comes in and asks one of us to go and help answer the firemens questions. They asked me what happened while the others put on a splint on Xander. I told them what I knew and had figured. Mom left Amelia with us, and asked dad to come pick her up. He picks her up, Max and I continue playing wii, I make dinner and before I eat call dad if he can come pick us up to see Xander because I missed him. Voice mail answered and I asked my question. I ate but the food was tasteless to me. After eating most of everything I called again dad answered and said he already was coming to drop off mom and pick us up, because Xander was getting transferred to another hospital. We talked with Xander, then mom picked us up to go home. we couldn't visit Xander in the normal rooms but saw him on friday at the lobby. I was very excited when he was able to come home yesterday. This is all I'm going to write but you should probably read the others entries to get the full story.

thx for the care

thx for the care and help

It is tough to see a brother

It is tough to see a brother hurt isn't it? I am so grateful you and Max were able to be with Xander on that difficult walk home. It is amazing how doctors can put broken bones back together and even more amazing that our bodies can heal. You are a wonderful big brother Elijah and I love you very much.
