Alaric's First Broken Bone

Alaric got a slackline from Braxton and Alisa for Christmas. It's a strip of webbing that is fixed above the ground but not stretched tight (Google definition.) There is a second line stretched above it to hold onto as you learn to balance.

Alaric has been practicing on it and has gotten up to taking 6 or 7 steps now. But yesterday when he lost his balance after those 6 steps and jumped off, he fell and landed on his left wrist. He was up during the night in pain, so this morning Braxton has a video chat with our personal PA, Dallin :) Dallin said he needed an x-ray so Alisa took him to have it x-rayed. His wrist has a buckle fracture and is in a brace until they see an orthopedic doctor.


Alaric gave a nice frown for the photo, but he is actually doing just fine. His biggest complaint is that the brace itches.
