Tuesday

Yesterday was a rough one...sorta. It started out nice. It was sunny and warm. We decided to go for a walk. We found a pile of leaves and the kids dove right in.




Run. Xander. Run!






Back into the pile. Well almost.


Linc let me take a pic of him up a tree.


Xander is learning how to fake smile but he's not very good at it.


After the above shot was taken, Xander got hurt. We were near a small stream and Xander couldn't stay away from it. He kept trying to get to it and I would grab him before he could. This happened several times. The last time he ran for it, I grabbed him by his hand just in the nick of time. He fell to the ground as I was pulling him up and snap! He started crying and couldn't use his left arm. I freaked and thought I dislocated something. I scooped him and we ran home as fast as we could. I got him into the car and headed for the ER.

I called Ron to tell him was going on. He said, 'Blair. Pull the car over, it's just nursemaid's elbow.' I explained to him that I heard a big pop and it had to be something else. Ron said he heard a pop too when it happened to Lincoln. I pulled the car over and having learned how to fix it with Lincoln, I was able to pop the ligament back in. By the time we got home, Xander was fine.

THANK GOD for Ron that day. I would have taken Xander to a germ filled ER all for nothing. I am also thankful that it wasn't something more serious. This kid doesn't need anything else to deal with.
