Our visit to the Children's Hospital

My plan for the weekend at 12pm on Thursday - finish work, chill at home then have a lazy Friday catching up on all the stuff that hadn't been done in the week (anyone fancy a mountain of washing up?) while the kids are at school.  After all this is Noah's first full week of school and therefore the first day I've had to myself in a very long time.

In reality ....... I get a phone call at 3.50 from hubby telling me he's off to the Children's hospital with Noah as he's fallen over on his way out of school and his elbow looks a little swollen.  Ah well, if he's anything like Ben it'll be just bruising, we'll be home again in a couple of hours......

So we got booked in and waited for the consultant.  She took one look before declaring she was sending him for an x-ray and would "be very surprised if it came back normal".  We were seen by x-ray really quickly ......

... and yup sure enough he had shaved a piece clean off his elbow bone (I'm sure it has a medical name) and would need putting in plaster to fix it back together.  The question was whether this would be enough.

Ben was so excited about the x-ray part
