Same, but different
Last Friday, Jake fell off a rope swing and broke his LEFT wrist. It has been almost 9 months since he broke his RIGHT pinky after a Scout activity.
Unfortunately, he is out for the rest of BASEBALL. 9 months ago, he could still play SOCCER with a cast (and some serious bubble wrap).
Last time, UNCLE DAN told us who to go to. This time, UNCLE DAN casted Jake's wrist himself. At our house!!
Our perspective has changed, too. Yes, it's a bummer he has another cast, but Jake is happy it's his left hand this time so he can still write. He has more use of his fingers with this cast, so it's still easy to play outside with all of his friends. And like before, this cast gets him out of playing the piano.
It's not all bad!
How cool that Uncle Dan took care of Jake this time...I mean, how many people can say they got casted (is this a word?) at home?! By the way, Brandon broke his finger on a rope swing when he was with the youth in the 5th ward and you'll have to ask Brandon what happened to Steve Mecham...so funny.
