ER visit

So yesterday afternoon Mykhal was out working with the neighbor's horse again and suddenly comes blasting through the door holding his left wrist.  (by the way he's left handed)  So I get the ice and start making phone calls.  We finally get clearance to go to the ER and Russ heads to the hospital as well.  He didn't get to work out at the gym like he had hoped to yesterday.  We were very pleasantly surprised at how quickly things moved for us at the ER and we were there only about an hour.  Xrays revealed no broken bones much to our surprise!  So they said it was just a bad sprain and put a splinted brace on Mykhal that he needs to wear for the next 10 days or so.  They gave him Tylenol 3 at the hospital and then a prescription for it too.  He said it just barely took the edge off the pain, but he was eventually able to get a little bit of sleep last night.  This morning his pain level is much less and he has been helping out as much as possible with things I've been working on like clearing the baby things out of the side room and getting our outdoor living space set up.  Everything is really beginning to look nice!  I am thankful he is feeling up to helping!!

  1. WP had a similar sprain on her legs. She had to wear a brace on it for 2 weeks. Glad to hear he's feeling better today.
