The first was taken on Saturday - the emergency room put a 1/2 cast on to keep the arm straight over the weekend before he got to see the specialist pediatric orthopedist today...
This second photo was taken today. They took some high-def x-rays and those images clearly showed that Daniel has completely broken one of 
the bones in his left forearm - it's not a little fracture, the bone has completely broken. I still can't believe it. How did we miss THAT happening? Thankfully, the bones are still in alignment - but he is going to have to be in this HUGE cast for 3 weeks. He's still smiley and good-natured as always - but we are all having very disturbed nights, since I think the bulky cast wakes him up whenever he moves in his sleep... I have a feeling these next 3 weeks could go SLOWLY!

What a brave little man! He looks super cute in his cast!
