Then we went in and he had surgery. He needed two pins placed in his arm to hold the bone in place.


In the PACU (post surgery area), they let me go back there to be with him when he came out of the anesthesia. It was sad and hard, he just kept crying out.

There were four options of beverages. Grandpa Ed was a great help in trying to get Hank to drink. They had told us we couldn't go home until he kept 4 oz of fluid down.
New Discovery........Hank has a bad throw up reaction to anesthesia
Sleeping on the floor after surgery, it was about 1AM when we finally got home and I didn't want him to fall down and get hurt.
Hanging out the day after surgery. He is so awesome!
One week later........we are able to get a real hard cast! This was an exciting day because he could now play and have fun instead of having to be very careful.

He thought he had to lie down to wait.
Then realized he didn't and started drawing on the paper table cover

The orange circle like thing is Hank's drawing of his borken arm

The pins, which don't hurt unless you look at them.

Really cool sock they put on before the cast is put on. 
Then right back to school. Hank really hates to miss school. Grandpa Ed was the first to sign the cast. (Hank finally was able to see the bulls eye after the cast was removed)
Many more people signed the cast, well 19 other Kindergarten kids, two teachers, his mom, and all the family members he could find.




FINALLY! The cast is removed, exactly four weeks form surgery.
