JF had taken him to some kind of therapy where he'd had an assessment done previously. It was meant to be a quick refresh of Joshy's abilities and then to put in place a program we could also continue at home. He apparently was laying over a pillow on his tummy, the therapist had a supportive hold of him at his shoulder and elbow, and was assessing his range. They'd done the left arm, and were doing the right when they heard a crack...
Long story short, this is Joshy's broken arm.
The doctors say that because he is immobile anyhow, the bones should heal straight without a problem. My poor baby has lots of bruising, and we're alternating between Painstop and Nurofen for pain relief although he doesn't seem to be in pain; there are no unusual noises or face-pulling. Because he is now difficult to move, not hurting his arm while placing him in my car seat will be a problem, so we've decided that Josh will stay with JF for at least the next week, while we figure something out regarding transport. We will get another x-ray in 3 weeks to see if things are on track...
