Shawn Jr. Breaks His Arm

Several weeks ago Shawn Jr. was playing in a basketball game.  On a play late in the 3rd quarter, the ball was going out of bound on the baseline.  Shawn jumped and saved the ball and hit the wall, stopping himself with his hands.  He immediately started holding his left wrist.  The coach took him out and he went back to the training room.  The trainer had him move it around and he seemed alright.  He had some pain but given his movement they thought it was likely not broken.  However, that next Monday we took him to get x-rays.  Sure enough, it was broken. 

He elected to get an orange cast.  A fact that annoyed his coaches because orange is the school color of Rockwall High School, Heath High School's in-town rival.   

He is doing better now and just got the cast off this week.  He is still in a brace but is almost ready to get back to normal activities.
