ER visit

Well, there is a first time for everything I suppose. Last night ended up being our first visit to the ER with a child. Who, you ask? Well, of course the boy in the family. Aaron reassured me it won't be the last! Anyway, Owen decided to crawl from his crib last night and ended up breaking his arm. Not a bad break but enough that we noticed he was favoring it and cried when he tried to pick things up with it. That is what prompted us to take him in. Of course when we got there he was playing around, lifting it and grabbing things. After 2 hrs. they took us in for Xrays and we saw the doctor who put a brace on and bandaged it up. He was such a brave little man and only cried when they had to position it for the Xray. We got home about 12:30 pm, Jeremy and his girlfriend Maria were in town visiting and stayed home with Grace while we took him in. When we got home Owen teased them by swinging his club arm and hitting them with it, SO hilarious. I think he was trying to tell us not to worry and that he was ok by giving us all a good laugh.
The next step is to follow up with an Orthopedist on Monday to see weather he will just get a brace or a cast. That may be a hard visit for me because we are assuming they will have to set it, ahhgg. I will keep you posted!
