What are the Odds?

What are the odds of breaking two different bones in the same hand in six weeks? Evidently pretty good if you're an Eppich. We seem to have a knack with broken bones and car accidents. Kraymer broke the first bone in his left hand Saturday, December 6, during his 2nd high school basketball game of this season. From experience, we were pretty sure it was broken. Todd made a splint from a cardboard box, wrapped it and called it good for the weekend. I took him to the Dr. the following Monday where he received the good and bad news. The bad news that it was indeed broken, but the good news that his growth plates were wide open. Great news, infact, to a 6'0", 16 year old.

He had a good attitude during the 4 week basketball hiatus but hoped that his hand would heal in time for the last game during Christmas break so that Kaitlan and Kortneigh could watch him play against Zillah on January 2. The Dr. gave him the ok and life was great. Then after having his cast off for a few short weeks, Friday, January 23 we saw it happen again. This time the thumb. Against better judgment, Todd let him play Saturday night with a brace, in what would be his last game of his sophomore season. The following Monday, a repeat trip to the bewildered Dr.

This picture is for the sister in Provo (who will remain nameless) who called tonight during the game to see how Kraymer was doing in his game....."Hello, where have you been??" We asked. She insisted that no one told her that he couldn't play and thought that he was playing with a brace instead of a cast. Oh my.
