Tristen...ouch

Well, Tristen had another soccer game tonight. Except that he didn't get to actually play. The kids were lining up to practice and we were setting our chairs up, the next thing we know Tristen is running toward Chris crying, screaming, and saying "I hurt" right hear (pointing to his shoulder). We have no idea what happened. He says "I fell backwards", and that is all we know. Anyways, he kept crying and crying and didn't stop so I knew something was wrong. A man came over too us and said he knew a little about orthopedics and looked at his shoulder and said that he probably fractured his collar bone and that we needed to take him to the E.R. for x-rays. He cried the entire 3 hours we were there. It turns out he broke his collar bone. What a short soccer season. :( He has to wear a "figure 8" brace and a sling. I have to call in the am for an appointment with an orthopedic doctor, but he is restricted from sports and pretty much any typ of fun stuff....poor kid. He is feeling good now, at least until the pain meds wear off. Hope we have a good night.
