We love soccer right?!?
Here's a pix before soccer. See Josh? Surrounded by beautiful girls, smiling, strong unbroken bones.
Here is Josh after soccer - OUCH! He had just scored the winning goal when out of no where a giant of a boy (I think he had facial hair) came and kicked his arm while wearing cleats! Ok, ok so maybe that's not exactly how it happened. But it makes a much better story right? Actually he had just finished playing his first soccer game and fell off the monkey bars at the park, bummer right?
He's a trooper though. He broke both bones in his lower arm (as you can tell). Everyone told him he looked just like Harry Potter when the bones in his arm were zapped away. The ER staff tried to "set" it at the hospital that night but couldn't get it just right.
So 2 days later we went into surgery where they sedated him to set it correctly & put a pin in it, poor kid. He still loves soccer (thanks a lot Ross - I'm blaming the whole Showalter clan you know) and hasn't let his cast stop him from anything yet.

Happy Birthday Josh! That is a cooolll cast. Ross misses you!
ouch!!!! I can't believe that! We're actually taking Aaron in to the doctor this morning to have his arm looked at. He fell off the playground at recess. Hopefully it's not broken, but if it is, he and Josh can compare casts!
Oh my goodness! It really does look like Harry Potter's arm! Hope it heals quickly.
And this is for Josh...
"You've had a birthday shout hooray! We want to sing to you today. One year older and wiser, too. Happy birthday, to you!!!" We love you and we're glad you're part of our family.
That brings tears to my eyes everytime I see it. What a brave boy! Glad he's doing good with the cast and hope everything heals quick.
Hope Josh had a happy birthday!
