So my poor little Christopher got a Chip Fracture on his left elbow on Saturday March 28th at practice. He was up to bat and got hit by a pitch ran around to third base where his Coaches were checking it out and he said he was just fine. Later he rode his bike home to open the door and say Mom the Coach said I need to ice my arm. By now it was pretty swollen and already bruising. Chris and I both check his mobility and it seemed to be fine and he wasn't complaining about it so we went on with the night. Then through the night he started complaining, so Sun we took him to the ER and sure enough the ER DR. said he had a Chip Fracture. After taking him to the Orthopedic Surgeon twice they think he will be OK with out surgery and they put him in a hard cast for three weeks. Keep your fingers crossed all will be good when they xray again. I was a little worried when a week later there was no change in the xrays and his poor little arm was still swollen and bruised. But he is a great kid who doesn't complain and can't wait to get back out and play with him team. He really wanted to pitch a game.
