This is our reality now, and it's not fun for the boy at all.
His instinct when he was flying/crashing on the basketball court
was to put his hands out, to break his fall.
That resulted in two fractured wrists and a broken thumb. Ugh.
And on top of that, insurance is complicated and he's still in hardened fiberglass splints instead of casts.
Trying to remedy that again today. Wish us good luck!
Rosey, so very sorry! Stupid insurance for adding to the pain and trouble.
ReplyDeleteYes, we had to go to the PCP to get a referral even though the emergency room already gave us a follow up referral. So, here we are on Thursday still in splints and this happened on Saturday! But... there is light at the end of the tunnel, so we're looking towards that... :)
DeleteThat's terrible. Hopefully you can get the insurance sorted out and he'll heal quickly.
ReplyDeleteThanks, probably better stock up on the chocolate and winegums for him... those are the best snacks, right? :)
DeleteOh gosh Rosey ... poor lad - I feel for him ... I hope all heals up well ........ definitely not an easy time for the family ... with thoughts - Hilary
ReplyDeleteThanks, Hilary. He's navigating things pretty well for someone who only has fingertips and no use of thumbs at the moment. Getting inventive even, lol.
DeleteWOW! WOW! WOW!!! So sorry for this. I cringe every time my son gets out to play football. I know injuries happen but I pray never big. This is a big one.
ReplyDeleteI wish you good luck. I'm so sorry too. I spent so much time in the emergency rooms when my son was growing up.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. Big hug. ♥
Oh my goodness - two fractured wrists! Wishing him the best on his road to recovery. Stephanie
ReplyDeleteOh no hope it all gets sorted for him good luck 👍
ReplyDeleteHave a lucktastic week 👍
I am so sorry and hope that the insurance can be sorted quickly - and that you both feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteOh, no! I'll be praying for a speedy and full recovery for him!
ReplyDeleteOh, man. That's a huge bummer. I hope he makes a full and fast recovery, and he's back on the court soon.
ReplyDeleteOh no. Im so sorry! I hope he will feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteoh noooo!!! I am so so sorry about that! I hope the insurance thing gets sorted soon.
ReplyDeletePoor guy! One fractured wrist is bad enough - but two! Please keep us informed on how he is doing.
ReplyDeleteOh no, two fractured! Wishing him a fast healing and quick recovery.

OMG, so sorry, hope your insurance issue gets resolved ASAP, and hope he recovers soon.
ReplyDeleteTake Care.
Not every day is a sunny day
ReplyDeleteSorry to read that this happened. I hope he gets well soon and can get back home soon.
ReplyDeleteOh no sounds a stressful time for you all, I hope he recovers well
ReplyDeleteSad to hear about his fractured, not one but two that's so stressful. Sending prayer for his fast recovery.
ReplyDeleteOh no! This is so stressful. I hope your son is pain free and heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteOMG, that sounds awful. That must have been some collision. I hope he feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difficult time for you guys, I am sorry to hear about that. I hope everything works out for you and things start to look up soon!
ReplyDeleteAawww no, sorry about that. Those injuries must surely hurt a lot!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness what a nightmare! I will pray for a speedy recovery...such a stressful situation.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about what your son is going through. It sounds like a tough and painful situation. Wishing him a speedy recovery and hoping that the insurance process gets sorted out smoothly. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteSo bad hearing the story. That's a nightmare when the insurance is stupid too. Definitely you need another better insurance.
ReplyDeleteI pray that God extends healing to him.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your son. I hope he feels better soon. Yes you should get a better insurance.
ReplyDeleteOh, no! Poor kiddo! I'm sure this is hurting his heart more than the physical pain since he can't play right now :( I hope you've gotten the insurance straightened out and he's mending better now. Stupid insurance. I had to switch mine in September and I lost my doctor and my infusion center all in one fell swoop. My new doctor can't see me until December, then I'll have to go through the preapproval for my specialized medicine again, which they like to deny and make us fight for, so we're looking at probably January before I can get back on my meds. We're talking 5 months without meds at that point and it really sucks. I hate insurance.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, yes this!! It's such a runaround and so frustrating. The secretary called me today, someone cancelled for tomorrow and I can get him in then. I'm jumping up and down happy, and hoping it works out smoothly. To say insurance is frustrating is an understatement. I hope you're back on track soon. 5 months without is so ridiculous!
DeleteThat's such good news! I hope he's doing much better by now!
DeleteOh no! It sounds so painful. I really hope that he's on the mend soon.
