Last day of We Wings !

Last Thursday was Evey and Briceson's last day of We Wings. That is the little pre-school program they go to that is on a bus. Mrs. Haley was there teacher ( the one on the right) and Mrs. V was the helper. Her first name is Sophia and I'm not sure why they call her Mrs.V. I'm not even sure if the other kids call her that or if it is just my two??? I can't remember the kid on the lefts name, but then the next boy is Bruce, than Evey who quickly wedged herself between him and Evan to her left. She had no intention of sitting with the other girls.  She's so over the whole go with the crowd thing.  Even is Elisa's twin who is sitting down at the end by Briceson who is obviously very excited to be there. He announced he was "all done smiling" after about the 3rd shot, and he wasn't kidding. Hope family pics rank higher on his list, or we will have to work very fast to get a smile out of him.

Our First Broken Bone!

Owen fell off the jungle gym at school when his hand slipped off the hand rail while trying to get down. He landed on his arm and also hit his head. The school nurse called me around 2:00 and said that she had Owen in her office and that his arm was definitely broken. I was in the middle of shopping at Sam's, so I had to leave my cart in the middle of the aisle and rush out to go get him. When I got to him he was in way too much pain for me to move him, so Brant came and got us both, along with Kamryn because Owen wanted his sissy, as always! 

I took this first pic on the way to the hospital after the school nurse had put a splint on it (she is wonderful). Yep, there is no way that strange crooked shape to his wrist could mean anything other than a broken bone or two! 

This pic was shortly after the x-rays, which they did before he had any pain meds. I had to stay outside while Brant held him and they moved his arm all around for pictures while he screamed in pain, constantly yelling "I want my Kamy!" Never mind Mommy outside the door, when this boy is hurt he always wants his sister! It was awful for me and even worse for Brant! He also had to have a cat scan for the bump on the head, and he couldn't have pain meds until we were sure his head was okay, so we spent two hours with him in agony with no pain medication! It was awful and drove his daddy to tears. The x-ray revealed 2 broken bones in his forearm near the wrist, and the cat scan came back fine, so they were able to give him some children's morphine. He was immediately high as a kite and feeling great! 

The orthopedist finally came in and they knocked him out briefly while they set the bones. The doctor said it set nicely, and he will be in a splint for 2 weeks and a hard cast for 4 weeks. This is a pic of him shortly after he woke up from the anesthesia. He was still very groggy, but he did not forget that Daddy had promised him pancakes at Ihop, and immediately asked if we could go because he hadn't eaten anything since lunch at 10:45 this morning, and it was 9p.m.! Needless to say, we ordered his pancakes to go and he is now home with a full belly and a dose of tylenol with codine. He is trying to sleep, but is not having much luck getting his arm in a comfortable position. It's going to be a LONG six weeks! We are also going to have to break the news to him that his baseball career has been cut short for this season! He is going to be heartbroken, he only got to play 3 games!
