Wow, this year is sure starting off with a bang. I should first start this blog by saying that the boys have always been early birds, but now they are really taking it a step too far. I decided to take the boys to Arnold (along with my Dad as a reinforcement) for the 3 day weekend. I really don't know WHY I thought this would be a good idea. The first morning they woke up at 5:45 AM - crack of dawn, still pitch black outside. That night I explained that they got up too early, and they are not allowed to come out of their bedroom until they see day light (except to go to the bathroom). Well, I was awoken at 6:30 to them screaming and jumping on their beds. They weren't sure why I was mad - they didn't leave their room....... I think we had one or two nice quite moments while we were there. I managed to take a picture (don't they look so nice an innocent? sitting nicely next to each other?) That was the ONLY time they weren't wrestling or screaming their heads off. I was SOOOO glad to get them home!
Today, while I was at my acupunture appointment (helps with the arthritis), my Mom and Dad were so nice to take Mason to the park. Grandpa was helping Mason on the monkey bars by lifting him up to them. This was fine, but Mason insisted on doing it all by himself. He jumped for the 2nd bar (might have been successful if he had just aimed for the one closest to him) and missed. Grandpa said it was a pretty nasty fall. Mason didn't cry, but was really complaining that his arm hurt. Omi and Grandpa new it was bad when they took him to the Yogurt Shack, but it hurt too much to eat any :( Daddy came home a little early from work and we took Mason to the doctor.
They took X-Rays - which Mason thought was really neat, especially since they don't need to use a flash :)
The X-rays found a fracture so they had to put his arm in a splint. Once the swelling goes away (48 to 72 hours) they will then put the cast on. In fact, while the splint is on the doctor doesn't want Mason to go to school (are you *%@&#** kidding me?) in case he should fall on it and make the break worse.
He is proud of his splint and sling, just trying to keep him from bouncing off the walls... he has SOOO much energy.
Having dinner with Mommy and Daddy after and getting an ice cream cone always helps! I am just keeping my fingers crossed that we have no further injury to the arm until the cast gets put on and that when the cast gets put on, it does NOT become an instant weapon. Watch out Grant! I am also hoping I keep my sanity while having Mason home all week (not to mention we have another 3 day weekend). SO glad it's not summer - I don't know how I would keep him out of the pool!! Until next time...
