cam's broken arm

On March 3, Cam went to Beaver mountain to snowboard for the day with his friend Jake Major and Jake's family. About 3:00 that afternoon, I get a call from Jeff, Jake's dad saying he thinks Cam broke his wrist and that Stephanie (Jake's mom) was going to drive him down so I could take him to the doctor. Sure enough, after a doctor visit and X-rays, the doctor said he had broken his wrist, and he put on a snazzy red cast to be worn for 5 weeks. Cam had been doing a cool jump when he hit a icy spot and went down hard on his hand. He missed a SkyView basketball league and a baseball tournament in St. George while the cast was on. He had always thought it would be cool to have a cast, but doesn't think so anymore- although to have a broken leg and crutches is still on his wish list.



His friend Parker went with us when he had the cast removed because he thought it would be cool to watch. And it was! From a saw to scissors, it was off in just minutes. Cam was left with a smelly, white, skinny, peeling left arm. His wrist is still not 100%, but he's got double header baseball games on saturday, so it had better be feeling good enough for him to play!

I like the picture of his friend Parker. Yeah, Ryan told me how stinky body parts get after having a cast on, I think I would dry heave, no offense :)

I remember when Josh's cast came off. P.U.!!!! I liked sloughing the skin off of his foot when he was in a cast. And...why did I not know Cam broke his arm? Were you keeping this a secret?
