Austin's Skateboard Incident

Austin was having fun with his friend outside on his skateboard and decided it would be fun to try and go down his friends front porch stairs on his friends skateboard and fell and hurt his hand. He tried to hid the swollen hand for the first hour and then finally had to ask for help because his hand was hurting and of course he did not tell us the real story about going down the stairs until a few days later. He initially told us that he hit some rocks and fell. Anyway we took him to a couple doctors and finally ended up at the orthapeic surgeon and he told us that he did not brake it but that he did move some bones around that should not have been moved so their was a lot of brusing. They put his hand in a cast for about 3 weeks so that it could heal without having to be moved alot. He got a black cast and with in one day had colored it all metalic blue. I guess that's what happens when you send your 12 year old son to school with a metalic marker to have his friends sign he got bored and colored it. Anyway he made it look pretty colorful and about the last week or so wore an ace bandage over the top of his cast to cover the artwork. So much fun!
