What are the odds?

I am the mother of 3 boys and 1 girl, and yes I knew the odds were leaning towards this happening. But come on, 2 broken arms within the last year??? My dear friend said to me- The Morrison kids don't just do things half way, they go all out. When Timothy (3) broke his arm last year he had to undergo surgery (Green Stick fracture). Matthew (5) was just walking in a friends yard triped and fell, landed on his elbow and broke it in two places. We are praying that surgery is not needed. However the Doc is going to check things out again in 14 days. He said the breaks that he has are very rare. He actually had to get out the text book and see the reccomended course of treatment for it.

Anyways.... To top it all off I had the enjoyment (not) of taking the 2 and 3 year old to the Ortho with us. I know call me crazy. I must receive the Insane Mother of the year award. Because that's what I felt like. We arrived at 2pm and left at 5:15. What an afternoon of fun Matthew and I had. Timothy and Mariah had their own kind of fun (called disobedience) they were shining stars in this category. Every chance I got we "visited the bathroom" Okay Mom's tell me you know what really happens when you visit the bathroom with the kids? You know when you are in that type of situation and you want them to be quiet. after it was all said in done I'm thinking the after effects of the "bathroom visits" were more disturbing then what they were previously doing. Lessons we and them have to learn! Of course as soon as the two little bandito's got in the car guess what they did, ZZZZZZ I guess they worked their self up to a nice nap.

Well this was my adventerous Thursday afternoon.
If you think of Matthew I know he would appreciate the prayers. He told me he want's healing as well as the pain to go away. He was in tears tonight from the pain.

I remember when Isa broke her leg... she didn't really sleep that night and then the next day she was scared to go to sleep b/c she remembered the pain from the night before!

Kids heal so fast though! I'll pray for all of you!

I know I shouldn't laugh but your story cracked me up. BTW after Matt broke his arm, my Matt informed me immediately.
