Ciaran fell at school and was sent to hospital.
A green stick fracture of the distal radius. A broken arm in old money.
There has been some bullying since he started secondary but this was just horseplay. He was chasing someone and slipped, fell and rolled a few times.
He will be in a short cast for at least 4 weeks but since its a short cast its not over his elbow just his wrist and forearm.
Luckily its not too sore, at least not yet, but it will restrict him.
Just now he's somewhat off balance so I've been keeping a close eye on him while we were at cubs as he begins to realise just what he cannot do.
His Oboe exam tomorrow is off and he's quite upset about that but he should be back up and running before his next camp in May.
No model making or painting.
Critically, and this hasn't set in yet and I expect a howl of frustration once it does, he can't hold his controller. SO NO XBOX!!
I may actually get conversations out of him again...
