How do you keep three boys occupied for 2 hours while you wait for the orthopedic doctor?
~read lots of books,
~complete a science project
~make a fall picture with foam sticker cut outs
~draw a car track on the exam paper and race cars (at least until you have one too many crashes with your brother and you need to be separated)
~make friends with the boy in the next exam room with a portable DVD player that is watching "The Power Rangers" (he flew in from Alabama to see the same doctor and will fly back home tonight)
~keep the little guy in the backpack until he can't take it anymore and then let him walk holding your hand while he carries a diaper in the other (to which the orthopedic resident says..."Wow, now that's a way to get the Dr. in there quickly...say 'hey, look what I did!'")
...but the good news is...
the little guy's arm is healing nicely it's down from a 30 degree angle to a 10 degree angle so we'll take another x-ray next year to make sure that the bone continues to heal...
and guess what...that only took 10 minutes!
