Ben's First Major Injury :(
Ben officially has his first major injury...On Monday he fell on the concrete floor in the kitchen. He must of smacked his foot on the chair or table because we found out today that it is fractured. Since it happened he has been holding it up like a puppy with an injured paw and won't let you touch it without getting upset. We finally went to the ER today and they took x-rays which was fairly traumatic for Ben...think really big scary looking equipment and a lady you don't know holding you down in an uncomfortable position...he cried the whole time. Then we waited for the doctor to look at them and originally he said they didn't see anything but then later after we left another doctor looked at them and they found a fracture in the bone leading up to his small toe. They also had to draw blood which was extremely traumatic for both and Ben and I. He cried really hard and then screamed a screamed I'd never heard before when they stuck him with the needle...so sad. To make matters worse they had to stick him in both arms because they couldn't get it the 1st time. But he recovered quickly and is home in his bed napping right now. Tomorrow we go to an orthopedic surgeon to see what they want to do. I'll update when we find out more!

Oh no! Poor Ben! I hope everything goes well with the orthopedic surgeon and that he can get all healed up quickly. We'll be thinking about him and Haley sends a hug. I have to agree that shots or drawing blood is one of the worst things ever when it is your child. Love you guys! C, J & H
