broken

On the last two Fridays, I have had two different kids have problems which have caused us to go to the ER and Urgent Care. Peyton had croup and Ryan and I sat up with her all night Thursday-Friday (6th-7th) listening to her breathe. I ended up taking her in at about 7:00 am on Friday. When I arrived at the hospital, there was no waiting and no one even in the back in the rooms. I had the ER to myself. Peyton got spoiled rotten and it was so nice to have every staff member wanting to help. After getting her some medicine and having the doctors watch her for an hour, we left at about 10:30 am. She only got better from there and slept in our bed for the next couple of nights.

Snuggling with me.

 He has a sucker in his mouth that he refused to take out.

This last Friday, after school, Braxton went to go play at a friends house. He came home screaming. After several attempts to find out what happened, he said Zack beat me up. I thought no way, why would Zack just beat you up. Then the story changed, Zack pushed him. Okay, well, why did Zack push you? And did you deserve it? It wasn't until Daddy got home that the REAL story came out, he tripped and fell. He kept complaining about his arm and I was worried, but with no health insurance and a trip to the hospital just the week before, I just couldn't afford it. On Saturday night, while wrestling with his uncles and cousins, he "re-injured" it. Suddenly, everyone started wondering if he was really hurt. Melissa said she had a friend that was an x-ray tech. After talking to her friend we had decided that I could go in and have it x-rayed for free and go from there. So, on Monday morning, we went and had it x-rayed. Good news, after 3 days of him just dealing with it, he had a buckle fracture on his left arm. Okay. Now, to get it casted. After waiting what felt like an eternity in the waiting room of the Urgent Care facility, with nothing to do, the doctor came in, took one look at the x-ray and said yep, it's broken. She took him back and started to cast his arm. He picked white, but in his defense, they only had purple (no), pink (no), blue, and white. Now he is my only kids who has had stitches (twice!) and a broken bone.

So, I have to ask, what is going to happen to Chloe on Friday? If everything happens in 3's, what's next??
