Broken Baby

This has been the CRAZIEST couple of months in a very long time. We are finally getting almost everything moved in and unpacked in our new home. Daddy has been working a lot of hours and we are going a little stir crazy because it has been so wet and cold here. When we left Alabama two months ago we were already having temperature in the upper 70's. Today when I got out of bed it was in the 30's. I am a warm sunshine kind of girl but I am trying to adjust. We are looking forward to warm temperature hopefully coming soon!! In the mean time we are taking trips to the local mall. There is a Choo Choo train there that the kids like to ride. They also like to visit Mickey Mouse at his house in the mall frequently. AKA Disney Store. This week has been particularly stressful. Wednesday evening after putting the kids to bed Sean started screaming at the top of his lung. Chris and I ran into his room and he was standing there holding his arm. I scooped him up and took him to the dining room where there was more light. With him still crying we decided he needed a trip to the Emergency room. Because we have only been here for a couple of weeks we did not know anything about the local hospitals. We entered hospital in the GPS and went to the first one that came up. A few short minutes later Sean and I pulled into the parking garage at the hospital. Three x-rays later and he was being fitted for an temperary cast. Broken in two places just above the elbow, we have now experienced our first broken bone. NO fun at all. He has not slept for the past two nights. Which also mean Mommy has not slept. Today I took him to an Orthopedic Surgeon and he is now sporting a beautiful blue cast. He is much more comfortable in the hard cast and after the appointment he took a 5 hour nap. Thank God! This evening he played and complained very little about the pain. He has been such a sport through this whole thing. I am so proud of him. The other kids are however experiencing a little jealousy. I am sure that in a few days we will all be back to normal or at least our version of normal anyway. I do have some picture but I cannot find the software for my camera to download the pics to the computer. So perhaps another day. God bless and take care.

Finally...

We have been in the process of moving. Yes, moving AGAIN. Chris received a job offer back in Indiana and he felt that he could not refuse it. So, we have been homeless for about 3 weeks. The kids and I are staying with my Mom while daddy is living in a hotel 3 hours away. We will be moving into our new home in just a few days. I will try to post a full report as soon as I can. Finally we will all be together again as a family. We sure miss daddy and I know daddy misses us!

Poor Poohpinyere

Last week our dear friend Pooh Bear had a fateful accident. He will be greatly missed.

Pooh and his honey pots were a gift from Grandma. He is so cute and the kids LOVE him. Apparently Pooh was pulled off the dresser onto Edi's head. I was in the kitchen folding laundry when I heard a very loud noise followed by crying. I went into the girls room and there he was on the floor in several pieces. Edi was crying and she kept saying, "Poohpinyere fell on my head and he is broken." She had 3 HUGE knots on her head. I put ice on it and called Daddy home from work. Pooh stands about 18" tall and he is VERY heavy. I was very concerned so we took a quick trip to the Emergency Room, ALL OF US. I decided to take everyone because I wanted to sit with her and keep an eye on her, just in case. By the time we arrived the swelling had gone way down. We had had ice on it for about 45 minutes by that time. I am happy to report that she was OKAY! As for Pooh...well that is a different story. :o(



Edi kept telling everyone at the Hospital about how Poohpinyere fell on here head and now he was broke. She charmed them all. I could here them at the desk asking if they had seen the Pooh Bear girl, we had many visiters while we waited. They just stopped in to hear her little story. In the meantime Daddy was in the waiting room with the other three kiddos and lots of animal crackers.

Thank Goodness our adventure is over and Edi is doing just fine. We are currently looking for a soft stuffed replacement for Pooh Bear!!!
