[Gavin's POV]

I watched as my dad and Charles swung across the Shay Bars. They jumped off and came over to me. "We're going to the Shay Rings!" Charles said breathlessly. "Okay." I replied. They went over to the rings. My mom and Alli were by the water talking, and Daxton was with them. Avia, Emmi and Brock were in the water. I decided to try the Shay Bars. I could do them with a spot from my dad, but I hadn't done it alone before. I hoisted myself up the metal rods that held the bars up. I pulled myself to the middle of the bar. I began to swing my legs. I let go and grabbed for the next bar. I planted my hands on the second bar. "Yes!" I said to myself. I swung my legs again and let go. I grabbed for the third bar. I grabbed hold of it. This was going very good so far. I swung my legs hard. I let go of the bar, and reached for the fourth bar. I strained to grasp the bar, but I missed. I came crashing down on the sand. I felt a sharp pain shoot up my arm. I let out a scream and grabbed my arm. I heard footsteps running towards me and I saw my dad, Charles, Alli, and Mom standing over me. "What happened?" My dad asked. "I...fell..off...the...Shay...bars..." I said in between crys. "Can I see?" Alli asked. I nodded. She gently took my arm and looked at it. "It's definitely dislocated, your elbow," Alli said. "And probably broken as well." She finished. I kind if just sat on the sand, grasping my arm.

I quickly got out my phone and called 911. "911, what's your emergency?" The person on the other end of the line said. "My son Gavin was on the bars and he fell off and hurt his arm!" I yelled breathlessly. "Okay, I am dispatching EMS and an ambulance as I speak." The person said. I ran over to Gavin. We comforted him until he EMS arrived.

[Gavin's POV]

I heard people running over to me. They put a sling on my arm and an oxygen mask on my face. I heard sirens. They put me on a stretcher. "I need one adult to go with the child in the ambulance." Someone said. I thought my dad or my mom would go, but I heard Charles running towards me. "I'll go, you stay and take care of your other kids." Charles shouted in the general direction of my family. They got in the car, and Charles got in the ambulance with me. "It's okay Gavin." He assured me. "I've been in ambulances before, it seems scary, but...erm I suppose it is scary." He mumbled. "Sorry, I'm not very good at advice." He said. "It's okay." I said, attempting to smile. "Hey, give me a thumbs up!" He said, pointing a camera towards me. I gave a thumbs up. "Gav...Sontard is a boss!" He smiled. Charles kept murmuring something to me, and I occasionally gave an "awesome" or "cool". Soon the ambulance got to the hospital and some people got me out of the ambulance and into the hospital. I saw my siblings, my parents, and Alli. Someone took me to a room and put me in a bed. A doctor came in and my family left. "Hello, Gavin!" The doctor said. "So you hurt your arm?" He asked. "Yeah, I was on the bars at the beach and I fell." I told him. "Okay, we are going to get you an X-Ray." He told me. I nodded. I kept waiting and soon a lady came in and took me to a room with an X ray machine. "Put your arm up on this block of foam." She instructed me. I winced as I put my arm up. She turned on the machine and it made a whirring noise. She took me back to the room was in before. The doctor came in again. His name was Dr. Soojan according to his nametag. "Well, Gavin, it looks like you have a fractured humerus and a dislocated elbow." He told me. My parents looked at Dr. Soojan and then to me. "And you will be needing surgery." Okay, the broken arm part didn't scare me that much, but the surgery part did. "Surgery?" I asked. "Yes, Gavin we will need to perform surgery on your dislocated elbow." He told me. "We will splint your arm for today, then you will get surgery tomorrow and your cast which will stay on for six weeks, then we will remove the pins, then a splint for a week then your done." He recited. Okay, not too bad, I thought. "We are going to splint your arm now." Dr. Soojan said. A lady came into the room and Dr. Soojan left. "Hi, my name is Nurse Ashley and I will be splinting your arm." She said. Nurse Ashley got out some plaster, ace bandages and cotton padding. She wrapped my arm in the padding and then dipped a strip of plaster in water and shaped it around my arm. She finished by wrapping my arm in ace bandages. "There you go!" She said. "Be careful with that arm!" Nurse Ashley warned me, putting the white mesh sling back on my arm. I went back to my room and my parents were there. "Gavin?" My mom asked. "Yeah?" I said. "Your gonna have to stay in the hospital until Thursday." My dad said. My face fell. "Two days?" I asked. "Yeah, buddy, you have to get surgery and recover!" My mom said, ruffling my hair. I pulled away, laughing. "Charles and I will be staying in the hospital with you, your mom is being awesome and taking care of your brothers and sisters." My dad said. "Why is Charles staying?" I asked. "I didn't mean to be rude, I just-" I began. "Charles had a seizure." My dad said.
