Broken Bone #1

Well we made it 6 1/2 years before a broken bone...not sure if that's good or bad?!  I got a call at work from one of Ben's YMCA summer camp counselors saying they were slip-n-sliding and Ben took a tumble and was holding his arm and in 'quite a bit of pain'.  I went and got him and took him up to Bozeman Clinic...sure enough...broken collarbone.  He said the slip-n-slide was going down a hill and he was on his feet and someone came by and knocked him over.  

This was about an hour after we got home from the doc and the pain meds had kicked in a little. :)   The 1st few days were pretty rough, but it didn't keep him down long.  We went back 3 weeks after, re-xrayed and sure enough, bone was 'cemented' back together as the doc called it.  Amazing how fast they can bounce back!  Thank goodness because it happened to be the 1st night of flag football practice.
