Two weeks later
"How come he doesn't do anything?" Trenton asked and made faces at Anthony.
"Because he's two weeks old Trenton." I told him.
"He's boring. Do you think they'll let me get my cast off today?" Trenton asked. I shrugged.
"I doubt it kiddo." I said. Trenton sighed.
"But it's been three months. Last time we came he told me I could probably get it off next visit." Trenton complained.
"You fell down the stairs last week, you could have shifted it. I'm just trying to keep you from getting your hopes up." I told him.
"Why didn't Mason come? He's much more entertaining then Anthony." Trenton said.
"He's got a baseball game today remember?" I asked.
"Oh yeah. Are we going to that?" Trenton asked.
"If you get done in time." I told him.
"Well then Dr. Preston needs to hurry up." Trenton said impatiently. A nurse came into the waiting room.
"Trenton Freedman-King." She called. Trenton jumped up and stood impatiently by the nurse while I gathered up my purse and Anthony before following them back to an exam room. "Take a seat on the table for me bud and Dr. Levi will be in shortly to take an x-ray." The nurse said kindly. Trenton jumped up onto the exam table. She smiled and left us alone. Trenton tapped his foot impatiently on the floor. Dr. Levi slipped in a few minutes later with the stuff to take Trenton's cast off.
"Hey Trent. Ready to see about going home without a cast?" Dr. Levi asked. Trenton nodded. Dr. Levi smiled and started cutting off Trenton's cast. Then he took Trenton to get an x-ray. Cooper called while I was waiting for Trenton to come back in.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hey Char." Cooper said.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Do you think you and Trenton will make it to the game?" He asked.
"Trenton's getting an x-ray right now. So I don't know." I told him.
"Mason wanted to make sure you'd be here to root him on. What should I tell him?" Cooper asked.
"I don't know Coop. Be imaginative. Here's an idea. Tell him the truth." I said.
"Calm down Char. I'll let him know." Cooper said and hung up. Trenton came back in. He plopped down on the exam table again.
"How'd it go?" I asked.
"Dr. Levi said it looked a lil swollen still." Trenton told me sadly. I smiled.
"Maybe it'll be okay." I told him. Ten minutes later Dr. Preston and Dr. Levi came in.
"I hate to say this but it looks like you shifted the ulna. I'm going to have to re-align it. The good news is you'll only have to have a long cast for two more weeks." Dr. Preston said.
"You aren't going to put him under?" I asked. Dr. Levi shook his head.
"We'll give him some Morphine and numb the area." Dr. Levi explained. I nodded. I held Trenton's hand while they gave him the shots to numb it and the morphine. Then Dr. Preston put his hands on Trenton's arm while Dr. Levi placed his hands on Trenton's leg to keep him from moving around when they re-broke it.
"Alright big man, on the count of three okay?" Dr. Preston said. Trenton bravely nodded.
"One, two, three!" Dr. Levi yelled. Dr. Preston broke Trenton's arm. Trenton let out a blood curdling scream. I tensed and Anthony woke up crying. I picked Anthony up out of the carrier and bounced him until he quieted. Trenton was crying quietly as Dr. Levi began to cast it. I took him home when they were done. The poor kid needed a nice chill evening. I let him pick out his favorite movie and he fell asleep watching it. I smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
