Rick and I had been out at a birthday part, and the girls were home with the little kids. When the registration person at the hospital asked Nes what happened he told them that they were having lots of fun, and then he fell. Which means he and Soren were horsing around on Eden's bed and Nes fell backwards off of it. Brooke said that he cried a bit, and then went to bed. I took the big kids to Silverwood yesterday, so Nes was just waking up when I left. Rick said that he told him it hurt, but kept playing so he just assumed it was bruised. This morning when he got up and was eating breakfast I noticed that he was holding it oddly. I asked him if it hurt, and he said it did a little bit. I had him hold both arms out, and it was definitely not right. I called the doctor's office and had him looked at. Sure enough he broke a bone in his elbow. Talk about feeling like a horrible parent!
This little guy must have an amazingly high pain tolerance. He hasn't complained about it a bit. Right now he is outside playing with his brothers in the yard. I keep checking on him to make sure he isn't actually throwing a football. Fortunately it is his left arm, so he can eat and write and throw just fine. He gets a cast on Monday. We decided this warranted a party, so we will be having a "cast party" for the boy who broke the streak.
