Steve's New Hardware

Steve broke his left arm while taking a 4 foot step off of some stairs on Thursday at the Kubasaki High School stage. He had surgery on Friday where they added some plates and screws to mend his broken bones.
He has been really tough. When he arrived at the Emergency Room he simply said ouch, ouch. I was not sure how broken his arm was as the paramedics had splinted his arm so that it was completely covered. The doctor sent us to radiology to get x-rays. As the radiologist was unwrapping the splint he and I realized quickly that Steve's arm was definitely broken as it bent where it should be straight. So we quickly re wrapped his arm and brought him back to the ER where they did the x ray. They sent us home with some pain pills and had us return in the morning to see orthopedics. Steve waited from 7:30 to 15:00 before he went to surgery. Then After the surgery Steve and I stayed the night at the hospital so they could give him I.V. antibiotics and pain meds. Steve is now at home and is getting better.
