Trevor hurts his arm in FOOTBALL

Trevor's playoff game was against his cousin Jaden. Uncle Max coached Jaden's team. It was a hard fought game, both teams played with everything that they had. They both wanted to make it to the Championship game.

Trevor had plans with some friends to go to a haunted house but we brought him to instacare before we took him to meet his friends. Some of his friends wanted to come with him to get his arm checked.

The Dr. making his prognosis.

Well, I spoke tooooooo soon, while visiting with some friends. I have felt so blessed that all of the sports that my children have played throughout the years that we haven't had many or if ANY injuries. Well, I have to eat my words. Last Thursday while at practice Trevor hurt his arm by blocking another player and Trevor went easy on him and the other kid went hard. (Bryan says that's what happens when you don't go hard every play.) Trevors hand went backwards and touched his arm. It swelled instantly. We thought that it was just a bad sprain. So the next day we took some xrays at my office and Dr. Simister didn't see any breaks or anything abnormal.

(But he is an Orthodontist, not a Ortheopedic Sports Medicine Dr.)

After practice on Friday his coach suggested that another players dad take a look at his arm. Which he IS an Orthopedic Sports Medicine Dr. He glanced at Trevor's wrist and he said, "It's broken, he needs another x-ray. Go to the Instacare and have them take an xray and I will pull it up on my computer." So we went and the Dr. Said that, "Trevor broke his growth plate and he will NOT be playing in the football game tomorrow night." Trevor's face went shocked!!!! So after we left instacare I called the other Dr. and he said, "Tonya, we can put a hard cast on that arm and immobilized that wrist and he could play in the game as long as you put padding on it." So we chose to cast it and let Trevor make the decision whether he wanted to play or not. Well, of course, he chose to PLAY. It was a playoff game and Trevor wanted to play in the Championship game. Well his team won 13-6 and Trevor was excited to get out and play.
