Hunter has picked up many nicknames across the years such as, "Boot Boy", "Cripple", "Breakable", "Crip", and "China Doll". He seems to be extremly fragile for such a big kid. It has been about a year since the last incident and I thought we were in the clear. But, alas, 'the crip' has returned. On monday Hunter was at rehersal and true to form the boys were messing around. Hunter was sitting in a canvas camping chair watching the disarray when one of the boys thought Hunter should join in the fun. He tipped Hunter's chair to the side and it spontaniously folded up with Hunter in it. The laughing and laughing until they realized that Hunter's arm was stuck in the chair and he couldn't get it out.
After 2 days of trying to trick Hunter into using his hand and arm (and being unsuccessful) I decided he really was hurt and needed to go to the Dr.'s office. The Dr. said it was really bruised and the muscle was torn but there was no break in the bone. So they put a splint on his arm and told him to keep in on for 1 week then he can take if off if his arm feels better.
Rehersal has been difficult with an arm in a splint, but he continues to go and do the best he can. At least Hayden had nothing to do with this injury, unlike the past 2 broken bones.

Aw Hunter, I don't think I would recognize him without a cast/wrap/sling/boot etc. Hope he gets better soon.
