We had a traumatic day today! Poor Jayce was riding his bike and fell. He was so sad and wimpering and refused to move his arm. I noticed swelling, so I called the doc and off we went to get it checked out. As Jayce walked into the waiting room (with a tear-stained face, cradling his arm), we were greeted with a collective "Ahhhhhh." After examination the doctor was convinced that he broke his wrist. Fortunately, the x-rays said otherwise, so he just has a bad sprain (unless he has a hairline fracture, which wouldn't show up on x-ray for a few more days). He's still quite sad about it, but doses of Motrin, his cool sling, lots of attention, and an ice cream cone have lifted his spirits.
All I can say is that everyone out there is a sucker for a toddler in a sling. I took him to Tropical Smoothie and he got a free muffin, props from the live band, and comments from every customer and worker there. Sympathy was pouring out from all corners -- passerbys in the parking lots, the medical staff, gruff-looking security guards, etc. We're heading to Disneyland next week, and I'm thinking we should keep the sling. Maybe we'll win a stay in the Mickey Mouse suite or something . . . simply because Jayce is so cute and pitiful-looking with his injury :) Jokes aside, we hope he feels better quickly!

I hope Jayce's wrist heals quickly! It's nice to hear that at least there are a few perks that come with the pain. He's getting so much attention that he just might want to keep that sling around for fun! I remember thinking it was fun to go around the house with a kitchen towel tied around me as a sling. Good luck with it at Disneyland! I love this blogging thing! (Keep those comments coming!) Have a great weekend!
So sad! I'm glad he is doing better. I vote for Disneyland and the sling. That would be great! I was even thinking that before I read on. We had fun today on the train.
Poor kid. Abby is afraid to ride her bike because she doesn't want to fall down - I can see why! Hope he gets better soon and that you have a great time at Disneyland.
