ER Excitement

WARNING... if you are sqeamish, you may not want to look at the pics!

Yes, you are reading correctly. We spent the afternoon in the emergency room. By we, I mean Kelsey and I. My friend Luella watched the other boys for me. I was on my way to pick up Kelsey and Isaiah from a birthday party when I got a call from the other Mom. She said, "Your son has broken his arm." Of course, I automatically thought it was Isaiah. But nope...




I was only a couple blocks away, and when I pulled up all the other kids were around Kelsey who was just laying on the ground. When I got up next to him, it was obvious it was broken. So we called our pediatrician, who met us within 10 minutes, right around the corner from home. He decided to have us meet him at the ER for an xray, and to get someone a little more specialized. I think Ben's cousin Kelli would have to say we got the cutest doctor available. (Thanks Ed!)



Dr. Prince, and Dr. Nielsen were great. And, Kelsey didn't even cry. They numbed his arm up pretty good in order to "reduce" it. Kelsey said it didn't hurt while they were working on it, and I never saw any look that told me otherwise until I took a good look at the pics. Ha Ha Ha!!!



It took the doc a while to work the arm back into place. After trying it manually a few times, and with a couple of extra hands, Ed decided to use a "lever" and hope it worked.




Luckily it did, and then they were able to put the cast on. As of 10:00 pm, his arm is hurting a bit, but he doing well. Now he's finally sleeping, and seems to be comfortable. And I am ready to get some rest as well.
