Another One Down

Not to be outdone by Matthew's swollen foot, Evan broke his elbow. Broken, as in the bones don't meet. He was "flying" on Daddy's feet last night when he fell. He cried and cried but I thought he was just being his dramatic self. I gave him some ibuprofen and put him to bed. This morning he woke up swollen and sore. So it was off to the urgent care place again. After several waiting rooms, two doctors and two sets of x-rays (I'll probably be glowing green soon since I was present for all the x-rays this week), Evan is now sporting a green cast from his shoulder down to his hand.

Again, no school got done today. Maybe we'll just call this week Spring Break (pun intended).

Aw, poor guy! Don't you just hate it when you think they're just being dramatic and they end up being really hurt?

Happy healing to everyone.

OH NO! Did you go to a different Urgent care? I would have LOL! There for a while I think the St. Mary's Emergency room had a coffee mug with our name on it. The smug little Indian doctors were all the time giving us a "parenting lecture" to which I was highly offended. Have they MET children?

Chris is taking Vacation the week of my surgery and it's also on a Co-op OFF week so we're good. Thanks for the offer tho!

It is so hard to tell when they are always dramatic! Didn't we just talk about this? LOL

Poor guy! (and mom too!)

Ouch!! Poor guy. Maybe you should tape the other two to the ground. ;-)

Hope Evan's better soon.

awww man! If it makes you feel any better Emma walked around on a broken foot when she was 2 for nearly two weeks. (we did take her to the doc right away, but x-rays were neg- it took a bone scan to see the break)

hope every heals up and that your Break is over now!! (pun intended too)

Bad Daddy. This reminds me of the time Jeff bloodied Josh's nose. I guess he was just warming up my kids so he could do some real damage to his own!
