Last night, Koen and I cheered on Jon as he played in an elders quorum basketball game. It was a lot of fun. During the game, Jon tried making a defensive play, which resulted in a very big guy running right into him. He ended up falling backwards and landed with his hands bracing his fall, causing him to break a bone in his hand...his right hand. He thought that it might have just been a bad sprain, but when he was getting ready for school this morning, he couldn't even pick up the milk, nor could he turn the key in the ignition with his right hand. After school, he went to the Urgent Care where they did an x-ray and confirmed it was broken. He feels pretty crippled at this point, trying to learn to do things with his left hand. He has to wait a week for the swelling to go down before they can put a cast on it, but hopefully then, he will be able to do a little more, as the splint won't inhibit his whole right arm as it does now. One sad thing is that he really can't hold Koen. Hopefully the cast will fix that issue too!

We are so sorry to hear about your hand, Jon. Thats the pits. Surely the ref called a foul on the big guy who ran you over. I suppose it could have been worse. At least he didn't mess up your hair.
In all seriousness, we are hoping your hand heals quick as possible.
Unfortunately, Jon was actually called with the foul because his feet weren't set.
Oh no! I too have never broken a bone and now at this point, can't imagine it, where I HAVE to work and will soon HAVE to take care of a child.
I think only children should have broken bones, adults don't have TIME for it!
Good luck healing Jon!!
that stinks! I fractured my wrist from snowboarding by using them to break my fall, not fun.
I am a bit relieved though, when I read this title I thought it was KOEN who broke a bone; that would have been even more sad. Though of course we are sorry for Jon as well :)
Hope Jon heals fast and can hold Koen! Poor Autumn didn't get held hardly at all by her dad until she was about 2-1/2 months old due to all the sickness/injuries! Good luck on a fast heal!
oh ouch! pour guy. church ball can be dangerous. i guess there was a fight at a game with the ward we used to be in. luckily jeff has avoided injury so far.
Sorry to hear about that. (I too, thought it was Koen that had broken a bone.) Hope you heal soon.
I've never broken a bone either.
