Late the night of Feb 15th Hayden was being a good brother and friend by fetching a DVD for the girls that wanted to watch something. He was hustling taking the steps two at a time...he slipped, heard and crack, saw stars... The DVD was fine and so was his wrist or so he thought.
The next morning his wrist was still hurting and our plan to spend our long weekend with Alyssa and Logan was now in jeopardy. We chose to be "better safe than sorry" so headed off to the Urgent Care Center at Kaiser. There were hardly any cars in the Urgent Care parking spots so we figured we'd get in and out in a hurry. Four hours later we came home with his wrist and thumb immobilized by a splint type thing that was removable.
We had a great time messing around in Lacey with Lys and Logan and Max and Chaos and Havoc.
A few days after we got home we got a call to make an appointment with the fracture clinic. The x-ray that showed a possible fracture ended up showing an actual one once the experts saw the films. So today, eleven days after the event, Hayden has a full cast with the ability to move all his fingers and thumb. I'm glad it wasn't worse than that. No surgery or major breaks just needs to knit up a bit and he'll be good as new. I think his black cast is pretty cool!

Ouch! I've done that before...think I was about the same age as Hayden - maybe a bit younger.
You must tell us whose belly that is...I'm scared to guess:)
By the way, do the Hilman's want to come over for dinner over springbreak with Lita's fam?
Someone else can admit to being the belly in question (ah what the heck.) It is Joylynn and her pregnant belly. She is due in September. Last night Wyatt was pulling up his shirt to show me the brother or sister in HIS tummy.
We'd love to see you guys again. Don't know what is going to transpire during spring break. My mom is going to be in town.
Aha! That was actually my first guess and the second would have been Alyssa. I just didn't want to guess wrong and cause a riot :)
I will email you about getting together. Maybe a Friday or Saturday evening sometime...
Black cast! That is cool. He will have to get metallic sharpies for people to sign it, that is very cool!
