The hazards of trick or treating...

[tigerlily]

Oh no! Seems like that would hurt an awful lot! Hope he heals up quickly!

Thanks Nancy. I sure hope so too! He's not in a lot of pain, but he's getting some ibuprofen and the brace is helping quite a bit. (I'm still kinda waiting for him to hurt himself on the crutches)

Oh dear!!! Poor guy! I'll be praying for a quick and complete recovery!!

Thank you Judy. The timing could have been a bit better, since he has a big camp out with cub scouts this coming weekend in Talledega. We'll see what the doctor says on Monday before we make any final decisions on that one.

Oh bless his heart! He looks a little bit embarassed in the picture!

Nah, he's not embarassed. He was a bit overheated and tired, as I took that pic right after we got home.

He's totally loving that I'm letting him play lots of video games right now.

Poor guy! That really must have hurt bad. Lots of prayers coming our way.

It still hurts just thinking about him hitting that concrete, but we're sooo fortunate he didn't get hurt worse. (I'm trying to focus on the bright side)

Thanks Laurie.

oh...my...god... Broken Knee Cap! O-U-C-H ack my knee hurts just reading that! When I was a kid I fell into a empty pool and fell, bounced and landed on my knee, that was the worst pain I have ever felt to date. Breaking it can only be 10 times worst! Buy him a video game for me

OUCH! That fall sounds painful!

I may have to go buy him a new video game.... that's a good idea. He will love you forever if I do.

O.U.C.H.!!! Poor guy! Hope he heals very very quickly!

Thanks. Me too.

Wow I'm sorry to hear the bad news. Best wishes for a quick recovery.

Hopefully he'll be good as new in no time. Thanks for the wishes David.

Awww... poor thing! That's gotta be no fun at all... Give him a big ol' hug from TX!

I sure will. Thank you Laura.

I cracked mine almost in half when I was around 12. Word of warning if it is still puffy when you go to the specialist they will probably need to drain it. They got 3 huge tubes of fluid and blood out of mine the first visit. Good luck and mine healed up fine.

Fortunately there really is very little swelling. When they showed us the xray they didn't have to point out the break, it was THAT obvious.

I'm glad to hear that these injuries heal well. I swear I'd never heard of anyone breaking their knee cap, but we had a girl do it while playing soccer just a couple weeks ago.

Awww poor guy! That must have hurt. Hope he recovers and is back out running around soon!

Sorry to hear that happened. I just wanted to say he has to be one tough kid to break his knee cap and still walk!! Tell him he's in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery..

Gaah...makes my old bad knees ache just thinking about it...

Um...tell him to cut back on red wine (red wine always kills my bad knee).

[Patrick Long]

Oh damn.....


....he better have had a crap load of candy for that!!!!!!

[dr del]

Ow!

That sounds like it would nip a bit.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery - And I agree with Pat he better have got a good haul to make up for that with none of that yucky fruit stuff

Poor guy!! I hope he makes a swift recovery.

[ADEE]

oh my goodness!! poor guy! Prayers, vibes, exc all sent your way! I hope he feels better, and BTW you look WAY TOO young to have a son that old!

[Ladydragon]

ouchies. sorry to hear that happened to the little guy. Here's to a speedy recovery. Yeah I agree, I hope he had a boat load of the good candy (not the cheap stuff people like to give out) before that happened and he needs a new video game. keep us posted on how he is doing.
