Mind you I knew having a boy would be full of bumps and scraps and tears - you get the idea. But to be honest come on if you know Grace.... yea not too far off with her either. Well it happened today - our first ER trip for Alex. He's FINE!!! Here's what happened, he and I went to get Grace from school. Grace gets in and sits next to him. Alex LOVES his Bubba aka Grace and is so excited when she gets home from school. Well today he was extra excited cause she was sitting RIGHT NEXT TO HIM instead of in her seat in the back. So he put his hand out to her to hold - he does this - very cute and so sweet. Well by the time we left school grounds he was trying to bite and then she was trying to pull away and then that turned into a game and then she squeezed his hands and he yelled and then he pulled away and she pulled back.....POP. She pulled his elbow out of joint.
I pulled the car over in Luby's parking lot cause he's crying pretty good and Grace has a look on her face like.. I think he might be hurt. I love on him a bit try to figure out what happened and figure he's fine. Yes yes again with the MOTY (mother of the year). SO we go to Kindercare to pick up last years tax info. He's very fussy - I take it as a sign that he's afraid I'm dropping him off - not so much. We leave there and head to get Shane something at krogers - something didnt seem right so I call Shane to see how easy it is to break your hand???? Not so much - k so by the time we leave Kroger's I figure out it's the arm not the hand and there is something wrong! Thank God Shane's a paramedic - we go to the station and yep they think it's the shoulder. By now we are all crying - Alex in pain, Grace out of guilt and lets face it a little fear and me cause I cant fix it and make it all better with a hug and a kiss. So we take Grace over Uncle Chris and Aunt Sheri's house (thank you guys so much! ) and we head to the ER. Shane took off to go with us - his crew was awesome to take up his slack they're the best! We were lucky he did go with us cause the ER was PACKED!!! But Shane had his uniform on and we got to go in the side door and straight in : ) All in all his elbow was dislocated for about 3 hours until the doc popped it back in place. Now he's all better. Little Motrin to help with swelling and he's good to go : )

Girl, I know how freaking terrible that can be. Matt accidentally pulled Cade's elbow out of place putting his floaties on...and we were in a small town in the Peens and had no clue where a damn ER even was. It was SO scary!!! Thank God though because somehow it wiggled it's way back into place within 15 minutes of it happening and Cade was fine the rest of the day. Learned a valuable lesson that day though, blow the floaties up AFTER you have the arm inside. Don't blow them up first! I'm so glad Alex is doing better now! Watch him though because they say now that it's happened, his arm will slip out more often and with great ease.
