Cast is off

Oh no, not again. Sadly after a weekend of swimming and trumpet playing he went to school on monday 15th March and fell up the stairs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and has bruised the tendon on the SAME arm - had to have xrays to confirm no fracture, so we go 1 step forward 5 back!! only 2 weeks until skiing now............

What a puny little arm - won't take long to get his strength back, ready for skiing!




Archie had his cast removed a month after it was put on by Dr Tan
