What Next?

Well, what started out as a family fun outing to the Pumpkin Patch on Saturday, ended with us taking Calvin to the Emergency room and finding out he broke his collar bone. He was running and having fun in the corn maize when he fell. I knew something was wrong when he continued to cry longer than normal and wouldn't let us put him down. We left and headed to the hospital. I can't believe this is our second trip to the emergency room this year for broken bones. Neither Chris or I have ever broken a bone and now 2 of our kids have broken bones before the age of 3. I'm going to start giving all of our kids calcium supplements and hope that does the trick. It is horrible seeing our Calvin in pain. He is handling it like a champ. I just hope he heals quickly. Here are some pics I took with my phone while we were at the hospital.

They can't put a cast on due to the location of the break so all they can do is put his arm in a sling to help immobilize it and offer pain medication. They told us he will heal just fine but I'll believe it when I see it. He's such an active little boy and has already fallen and bumped his shoulder multiple times. We go on Thursday for another x-ray and I'm hoping it just hasn't gotten worse.
