Life In Letters

X – X-Ray

Tony cradled his seven-year-old son in his arms as they waited for a Doctor to see them. Anton had been playing football with some other boys and he fell on his arm. Tony and Ellie rushed to the house where it had happened and picked up their son. His sister Sophia had been at a friend's house and would call them later. Right now they were waiting for their name to be called.

He looked around wondering what was taking so long. His son was hurting and he was crying. Finally someone came out and called them into the ER room. Tony laid his child on the bed and the Doctor looked at the arm and made notes. He then told them that he would have to have an X-Ray to see what was going on.

Tony was allowed to go with them since Anton was a minor. He watched as they X-Rayed his son's arm and they were brought back to the little room. They waited for the news of what would happen. The Doctor had given Anton some medicine to help with the pain and had even written a prescription for them.

The Doctor came in again and this time he told them that his arm was broken and that it would need to be in a cast. Anton was crying as part of his arm slowly disappeared under gauze they use for the cast. They told them that they had to be careful when he took a shower, or bath.

It was weeks later when they took another X-Ray this time they went to Anton and Sophia's normal pediatrician and they took another X-Ray and the bone had healed. Anton was scared at first thinking that the saw would go through his arm, but it didn't.

His arm looked better and it looked normal a few weeks after the cast had been taken off.
