I went with Kyle to his doctor appointment yesterday. They took x rays of his arm and took off the wrap. I finally got to see what his arm looked like. There were 4 pins sticking out of his arm. It didn't look very pretty. The doctors had Kyle move his fingers certain ways. He still couldn't straighten his fingers or lift his wrist up and a few other things. The doctor said he doesn't like to see that so he will keep an eye on it. He said all we can do is wait because there obviously has been some nerve damage. The doctor decided to take out 1 of the pins because he thought maybe it was irritating the nerve. I thought he would give Kyle a shot or something to numb the arm because the pins are thru the bone. The doctor just grabbed a pair of pliers and pulled it out. I felt so bad for Kyle because I knew he was in pain. All of a sudden he turned pale white and I knew he was going to barf so I grabbed the closest garbage can and he did. I guess the bright side is that they put a cast on him and now he can go to school.He has been so bored and begging to go. In 3 weeks he will get his cast cut off and the remaining pins pulled out and another cast put on. Poor buddy. He is already dreading it.
On a happier note we showed our house to a family for the 3rd time so we are crossing our fingers. I'm hoping we will know either way in a week or so. :)

I can't believe how bad that broken arm looks and hearing the details makes me woozy. Ahhh! I always think my little girl is indestructible. She can be so clumsy at times. I was glad to read that you were calm though. I'll try to keep that attitude if this ever happens to me (:
Poor Kyle! Did you keep it down Sara? If so, Way to go!!! We sure hope his arm heals completely! If you sell your house where you going to live this time??? Good luck with everything! If you get a week, come on down for a visit! I promise to keep the cockroaches and other creepy crawlies under control while you are here :)
