Not a good week!

We have had quite the week. Last week on Wed Adley was running out of the bathroom and hit his head on the corner of the half wall of the stairs. It split it open and boy did he bleed a lot. We decided that we would shave that part of his head and butterfly it. It probably could have used staples but Adley didn't want to go to the hospital and get staples and I didn't really want to spend the $. So we figured his hair would grow back.

**It has since healed nicely and you can't even tell that we shaved any part of his head.**

Little did we know that we would end up at the hospital eventually - with a broken arm. We went to a Bounce place with a friend of mine from work and her kids. When Adley was at the top of the slide he jumped before he went and he landed on his bottom but then bounced again and toppled forward and landed on his right arm. He caught quite a bit of air and I would guess he feel from about 6ft up. He landed on the inflatable, and let out a big "Owwww". We got him off quickly and took a look at this arm. It was pretty obvious and it didn't match his left arm so we headed to the hospital. Jared took Aidan and Eli to eat and my friend from work kept Liam while we were in the ER. He broke his right humerus (upper bone) on the bottom near his elbow. I got to see the results of the xray - the bulbus part of the bone is what broke off.
We met with the surgeon and it was considered emergent enough to take him to the OR right away.

Waiting in the ER

So swollen - the doctor said it is all blood -that the bone was bleeding - that is why he had to go to surgery right away. He was bummed that I had to cut off his shirt. Jared and Uncle Ehren gave him a blessing and he was off to the OR.

Waiting in pre-op holding. I was lucky enough to go all the way back to the OR until he was put to sleep and then they started his IV.

After surgery - Adley and daddy putting together his new lego set.

The doctor said the surgery went perfect. It was a closed reduction with pinning. (2 pins). He is currently in an ACE splint and will be cast next week. The doctor said that kids heal pretty easily and it will be about 3-6 wks. They can remove the pins in the office.

We went home a few hours after surgery.

Adley has done such an amazing job. He didn't even cry once while we were at the hospital. He has kept a brave face the whole time. He has done well since coming home and he slept pretty good after we got him positioned. We will have to feed him, cloth him and take him to the bathroom since he can't use that arm at all.
As many of you know Jared, Liam and I were supposed to go to Utah next week for my brothers wedding. We aren't sure what we will be doing now.

On to a happier note: Liam started eating rice cereal and he loves it!!!

This is what happens b/c Eli has quit taking naps b/c I can't keep him in his room anymore.
