We celebrated Ammons 7th bday this month and took him and some friends to a new party jump place in ABQ. It was great, there were two huge rooms full of inflatable obstacle courses, jumpers, slides, etc.
Everything was going well until Ammon jumped off of the end of the slide and landed wrong on his tail bone. I got to him just as he was trying to get up. We had the wind knocked out of him and just as he was trying to catch his breath, he had a seizure. Holy scary! he came to soon after and seemed to be ok, we still took him in and the dr. did a CAT scan. Ammon, being a huge star wars fan, thought that having this cool thing take pictures of his head was pretty awesome. Anyway he was fine, the seizure was a result of the pain and shock to the body.
So two weeks later (the day Clone Wars came out) we were at a park in Las Vegas, NV playing with the kids. It was a cool park with some water features to take the edge off the 107 degree sunshine. Ammon had just come from running through some spraying water thing and went right to the monkey bars, wet hands and all. I was about six step from him and he was 5 feet off the ground and half way across the bars when he lost his grip and fell right down on his arm.
he was definitely in pain and I knew something was wrong but I wasn't sure if he has broken it. We got back to the house gave him some ibuprofen, and got him some ice. We watched for swelling and after about an hour, his wrist started to swell and he could not rotate it show us where it was swollen. A quick trip (again) to urgent care and an X-ray later, ammon has his first broken arm and the first of the boys. The most devastating part of the whole experience was that we were not able to see Clone Wars on opening day. We did go to the first show the next morning. We are on our way today to the orthopedist here is lake tahoe to have it casted!
