Ethan breaks his arm

I was on a conference call when my cell phone started buzzing like crazy with calls and texts: Ethan had fallen off the monkey bars at school and broken his arm.

Twelve hours, two ERs, a cancelled work trip, and one orthopedic surgery later, Ethan was resting peacefully in the hospital bed where we would stay until morning, under observation.

He will recover completely after six weeks in a cast. But no monkey bars until he has his two arms working again.
