...Sarah called me at work this afternoon to tell me Carol was taking Brian to the hospital. He was playing kickball with his best friend and his cousin and she said he planted his left leg pretty hard on the driveway to kick the ball and it snapped. He was in his wheelchair and when I would play with him he would press on the arms of the chair and plant his left leg to get more strength for kicking the ball farther. The x-ray confirmed the break. The fracture is on the top of the bone and stops at the rod. The rods prevent the bone from breaking completely in two and help limit the pain. Carol just called and they are on the way home now.
