Poor Travis

This was Travis two days ago, poor kid. Tuesday night after young men's/young women's he got hurt pretty bad. He and a group of friends were roaming the neighborhood when this happened. (Ty just had to be in the picture. His eyes are closed!!!)

Trav spotted a mobile basketball hoop in the street and decided to try to dunk on it, since it wasn't too high. Well he did manage to dunk! He also managed to pull the entire thing down on himself. I whole stand fell over and the hoop landed on his wrist.

He and his group of friends came home and told me they thought he broke his arm. It was really swollen and bleeding a little. His friends left after they knew he was in good hands. As soon as they were out the door the tears started falling. He was being tough so the girls (and boys) wouldn't see him cry.

Jeremy took him to the ER and three hours later he came home with a temporary soft cast. He only has to wear this for 3-5 days. It has been pretty difficult for Travis to try to function without the use of his right hand and especially his thumb. He is a trooper and all will be back to normal in a few days!!

Poor guy! Bet he's glad he made the dunk though! Ty looks awfully cute there beside Travis!
