He did indeed break something (I'm not sure what exactly, but he has a cast from his hand up to almost his shoulder). After the ER adventure lasting 5 hours from start to finish I wasn't going to keep my sister any longer to get the nitty gritty.
We were wondering what they'd give a kid for pain - damn. They pumped him with some morphine when he first arrived, and then when they went to set the arm/wrist, gave him some Special K http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketamine . The nurse commented that he did very well with it, and my sister joked that "well, he is *my* son". She had lots of experience with various substances on her own (not supervised by medical technicians) before conceiving him, so she's figuring it had some kind of latent impact. :) There is a reason my sister is such a strict mom!
He's in the cast for 6 weeks (and may or may not need a pin there - a visit on Friday will determine that). The poor kid: no karate, no soccer and delayed swimming in the summer. At least as my sister said "he's a real boy now" having broken his first bone. Kudos to Newton Wellesley Hospital for sending him away with a Playstation Game. I'm not sure where they got it, but they overheard him being upset about not being able to play the game my sister just rented from the video store and so they sent him away with his own to keep.
