Another Visit to the ER


Last night brought another visit to the ER. Mike went as a dad instead of a patient this time. Calvin is just absolutely crazy - he climbs everything, falls multiple times a day, and runs into everything. He is very accident prone and moves at high speed all the time. It's no surprise to me that he broke something, I guess what is surprising is how! He fell out of bed last night. He wouldn't stop crying and after some poking and probing Mike guessed his collarbone was broken. So off the boys went to the ER. Luckily it was only a small fracture. Calvin came home with a sling. He should be healed in 1-2 weeks and doesn't need another trip to the Dr unless he doesn't feel better and heal in 2 weeks. Mike took Calvin to Kripsy Kreme donuts on the way home. He went back to bed at around 11:30. He was up screaming at 4:30 - I guess the medicine had worn off. We are keeping him on the good Tylenol all day. He does complain of his arm hurting and he is grouchy from the lack of sleep, but he has been outside playing and swimming most of the day so it probably won't slow him down too much. There is no way we can pull a shirt over his head, so his single button down, short sleeve, shirt will get a lot of use this week! I just want it all healed before our trip out west!

Never a dull moment at the Russell house, hopefully he heals quickly and isn't too grumpy about it. I am so excited for you guys to come.

Who knew that falling out of bed could cause so much damage! Poor guy! I hope it heals quickly.
