Can you guess who this is? We had to make a trip to the emergency room on Sunday. One of our children - who wanted to remain annonymous to see if you could figure out/guess who it was - fell and broke his arm (okay it was not Alyssa). I must say us Johnstons when we do something we do it all the way - no holding back! Both bones are broke and are at different levels. He is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow morning to put a pin in the bone to stabilize the fracture. As you can see in the x-ray (below) it is displaced quite a bit and if we do not pin it he could lose all pronation and supination of the forearm; basically the ability to turn his palm up and down. We are very happy with the doctors who have treated him so far and are very happy with the surgeon that will be performing the procedure. We will keep everyone posted as to how he does with it all. Right now he is just bored because we can't send him to school until after the fracture is stabilized and in a cast.
