Yesterday morning, I left home to take John to get the immunizations required for 6th grade. When I returned home, Peter was in tears, lying on the couch, with a bag of ice on his arm. Apparently Hannah and a friend swung him by his arms and feet, then let go, and he landed on his wrist. There was no sign of swelling, and it doesn't really look bruised, so we don't
think it is broken, but all day yesterday he was in pain, crying any time his arm moved. We wrapped his wrist in an ace bandage and put his arm in a sling to keep it from moving, and dosed him with children's Tylenol and later, some children's Advil, but he spent most of the day lying around watching movies or resting - which is very abnormal for him. I hope it feels better before school starts next week, since it is his right arm, and he is right handed!
