Chads broken Arm

Poor chad! We went mt. biking on Friday morning and we made it all the way up the mt. then all the way down into sliding rock. At the very bottom chad was going down a very steep part of the hill and at the bottom there was a sharp turn that was all sandy. Chad was not going to fast to make the turn but the sand just made his front tire sink and he got thrown to the ground. By the time I got to him he was sitting holding his arm that was shaking really bad. I asked if it was broken and he said I think so. So we waited all day to see if the paid would subside but it did not. So we went to the doctors office and they told us that he broke the bone that holds his thumb on. the problem with that is it does not get very much blood to it, and if it does not get enough blood it will turn black and die and he will loose all movement in his thumb. So of course he is a little sad about not being able to play the guitar. We see the specialist on Thursday to see what he says. Hopefully no surgery is required.
