On Tuesday, Corbin and a friend went up to the baseball field at the end of our street to hit some balls around. Corbin whacked one over the fence and naturally went to retrieve it. As he was scaling the fence, his foot got caught, down he went, and SNAP! Both bones of his forearm are broken.... This is a copy of the x-ray. It was not a pretty sight! Be sure to click on the photo to get a good look at where his wrist and elbow are in relation to the break.
Lucky for us, there was a team practicing at the same fields. The coach happens to be a friend of ours. He called us while a mom of one of his players (also a friend) whisked Corbin to the emergency room. Within literally less than 10 minutes of the accident, we were with him in the emergency room, getting treatment with yet another wonderful friend at our side to assist in giving Corbin a blessing. Where else but in a small town like Page would our son immediately have people who know him and know his parents be able to care for him and get him to help so quickly? Where else could we call on someone in a matter of only a few minutes to come and administer to him?
We have had so many phone calls, visits, and treats since the accident. We are so blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful friends in Page!
