We were at a birthday party on Saturday. And Tys got hurt in a bounce house. He was in a lot of pain and couldn't stand on his leg at all.
So we went to the ER that night. We got there at 11 pm. (After the party we didn't know how serious it was and so we put him down to sleep and he slept until he woke up in a lot of pain, that's when we decided to go to the hospital)
Unfortunately we did not have a very good experience at the ER. It took about 2,5 hours for us to even get a "room" in the ER. After about 3 hours we finally saw a doctor for the first time. And then Tys finally got some morphine. We didn't get to the ped. floor until 5 am, where Tys finally could go to sleep. (He couldn't settle down in the ER, he wasn't crying but we could tell he was scared to even go to sleep even though he was so tired. Sometimes he would close his eyes for a second and then jump up again.) So he finally went to sleep, and so did we. The nurse there took very good care of us.
The orthopedic surgeon came Sunday morning at 8.30 and told us what his plan was.
Tys had to go under for surgery just so that they could put a cast on him. Tys was very hungry and thirsthy, so we were very thankful that he went to surgery at 9.15. It took them two hours to get the cast on.
He slept for a long time after surgery. When he woke up he was very happy to get something to drink and eat!
Last night we took him home, and he slept very good and long last night. The pain is much better this morning and we are so greatful for that! Seeing your child in pain is a very hard thing to go through.
He's coping very well with the cast. Rudi's parents have an awesome wheelchair that we're borrowing. Changing his diapers is going to be the biggest challenge.
We really appreciate all your prayers and thoughts. We need them. It's overwhelming to see how many people care and pray for us. Thank you.

Och Anne en Rudi, wat sneu voor Tys! Maar gelukkig lacht hij ook! Hij is nu erg beperkt in zijn doen en laten, zeg maar: helemaal beperkt. Het zullen 'drege' weken worden! We wensen jullie heel veel sterkte toe. You are in our thoughts! Dikke tût van Ome Klaas en Tante Alie.
He Anne en Rudi
Wat vreselijk sneu voor jullie kleine mannetje! Zullen geen gemakkelijke weken worden voor hem zo helemaal in het gips. Veel sterkte!
Tut,
Jessica
