Caleb's Broken Arm

Sunday night Caleb was all ready for bed, but then he decided he needed a drink. He ran off his bed and fell and broke his elbow. It is the top of the humerus that broke. I took him to the Instacare and they put on a splint.



Today we took him to an orthopedic specialist who put on a cast. He chose a glow in the dark cast. The doctor is not totally sure how far the fracture extends, so Caleb gets to have an MRI on Monday at Primary Children's Hospital.

I'm grateful this is happening now, and not in a few weeks when we have a brand new baby.

I hope everything's okay with Caleb's arm and he'll be able to heal well. How fun to have a glow in the dark cast! Keep us updated on baby news!

My goodness! Just what you need to add some "spice" to your life with the baby coming so soon. I hope everything goes well with the follow-up by the orthopedist.

Laura, I loved your story about the UPS store! I am sorry that you were crying when you left the post office, and I'm sure you felt embarrassed. I just want you to know you are not alone. I think people at least are more understanding when your kids are 4 and 2 than when they are 12, almost 10 and 8! I love you and am excited for you to have a little girl. They are precious and fun, but a lot different than boys. Please let me know if you ever need anything!
