Kynan was very lucky to be invited via Make A Wish Foundation to watch the Mandurah Magic ladies and mens games from a corporate box last night. He was absolutely spoilt with this awesome front row seat. The players all greeted him individually at the end of the game, he was invited into the mens change rooms at half time to hear the coaches speech and joined the men again at the end of the game to sing the team song. He was gifted a cap, a signed basketball and a remote control helicopter. The whole family were invited and we enjoyed refreshments and pizza courtesy of Mandurah Magic. Another awesome experience for Kynan, he loved it. During the gap between the ladies and mens games Ky was shooting hoops with his friends and unfortunately his legs gave way on him and he came down hard on his forearm (the same one he hurt previously). We didnt see it happen. Jayden helped him back to the box where he was obviously in a lot of pain, but there was no way he was missing the mens game, so the lovely Brooke got him some peas and he iced it for most of the mens game. Luckily it wasnt his high five-ing hand because he still needed it at the end of the mens game. We came home after 1130 and he went off to bed ok, but woke this morning in pain still and had immobilised the arm :(. Mark has been sitting with him at Peel Health now for a couple of hours (after we checked with PMH ward 3b first). Ky has just text me to advise X-rays show a buckle fracture (definition below * in case like me you have not heard of one of these before) in his wrist. He will need a wrist splint :(. Yet again our boy tolerates pain to soldier on with his love of life. We had such a great night last night though and I am sure if I ask him when he arrives home he wouldnt change a thing. * Definition: Buckle fractures, also called a torus fracture, are extremely common injuries seen in children. Because children have softer bones, one side of the bone may buckle upon itself without disrupting the other side; this is also known as an incomplete fracture.
