Imagine my upset when I was woken from a deep sleep (from some medication I took) with a call from Kevin at 10:30 at night saying Ethan broke his arm. I was sick and stayed at home while Kevin went to pick Ethan up from late-stay at school. He decided to take the boys to Kid's Night at Chick-fil-A. Ethan was playing on the playground and was hanging from some bars that he should not have been on. When he let go, he fell and landed on his arm. Kevin didn't want to disturb my sleep, so he took both boys to the hospital and waited to get Ethan seen. Once they got back to a room, they gave Ethan a shot to help with the pain, so he went to sleep pretty easily. Kevin still had to tend to Eli. I was so upset that I could not be there for my boy or my husband. It turns out that one of the bones on his forearm, right below the elbow was fractured. They put on a temporary half-cast and we will see an orthopedic doctor on Friday to see if he needs a plaster cast. When they finally got home, Kevin put Ethan in our bed and I put Eli to bed. I was so glad to sleep with Ethan and know how he was doing. I didn't want to breathe in Ethan's face since I had a small stomach bug, but I wanted to be there for him, so I slept on my back. Kevin took this picture of us together. I will post more photo's later.
