This morning started off great, Cavin has been a little sick with a cough and so he woke up early and I tried to rock him back to sleep, he was so cute, he had his head on my belly and said, "BABY" and lifted up my shirt and put his head down and started talking to baby Stella, it almost made me cry it was so cute, Cavin is seriously so excited for his baby, I can't believe how much he knows and loves his sister! Oh I'm just so excited for our family!! I love my sweet little guy and I love our baby girl!
Then this afternoon, Marcus and I went for a walk to see Grandma Freda and get Cavin's bike so as we walked down we said thursday would be a good day and decided to go ahead with thursday if everything was still a go when we saw the doctor that morning. We worked out our schedules and made a plan.
We where playing with all the toys and went down stairs and talked to Grandma and Cavin was playing and all of sudden heard this weird Cry from him, usually if he gets hurt as soon as we pick him up he's done crying, but this time Marcus picked him up and wouldn't stop crying he was really sad with tears (also weird for him). He had fallen off the side of the stairs so where a rail is there was a gap so fell straight to the floor 2 steps up. I didn't see him fall since it was around the corner. We started to walked home and he cried the WHOLE way so a good 30 minutes from the time of the fall. we started to notice he wasn't moving his left arm, so when we got home Marcus tried to get him to use it and he wouldn't, he tried to sign bikes (his Favorite sign) and he started to and just cried and didn't sign it. When we got inside we took off his jacket and his left wrest was swollen and red and he wouldn't use it, we took him to the ER just to make sure, we didn't want to risk anything with a little guy. Even though it was hard to believe he could actually brake his arm.
We got to the ER and everyone was so nice and got us in fast and an x-ray, and sure enough his arm was broken on both bones….. WHAT???!!! my little 17 month old has a broken arm!!! I just can't believe it, I'm so grateful for the comfort of the spirit because my Heavenly Father knows me, he knew to send the spirit at that second to say it was an accident and not my fault, because as a mom I started to feel guilty but knew it was an accident and this is sad and a real bumper but just happens.
They put a splint on it because it was too swollen to put a cast on. We will go to see our doctor and put a cast on it in a couple days, supposed to be THURSDAY, baby day but I'm going to call and hopefully get it on Wednesday. Even as I'm typing this I still can't believe my baby has a broken arm. I feel horrible. I'm trying not to stress out but am feeling a little over-welhemed. Poor Cavin just doesn't get why his arm hurts and he doesn't get whats going on.
We got home and Anna was over with Troy and Colby and Cavin just loves baby colby, I wanted to cry, he just wants to hold him and love him, he smiles at him and talks with him. Cavin wants to be close to him all the time. He just lights up when he sees the baby. I'm just excited for Cavin to have a baby sister. They are going to be so close and we're going to have a great time!
Cavin doesn't like the wrap and keeps trying to rip it off so we'll see how this goes! My poor little man is having a ruff time and I just feel so bad for him because I'm sure it's achy and thinks the wrap is what's hurting him but really it's helping it not to hurt as much.
We gave him so Motrin and put him to bed, he went down just like another night, we put one of marcus' big socks over it so hopefully he won't pick at it! hope he sleeps well and feels better in the morning! Wow-zers what a day! I'm so grateful Marcus was there and kind of different Cavin just wanted his dad, which I was okay with and soooooo happy and grateful Marcus is the world's best dad, at first I was a little sad he didn't want me, but I quickly changed my way of thinking and said I'm so lucky to have a husband and a dad for my kids that they love him! It actually made it nice since I couldn't go with him in the x-rays and he was happy that his dad was holding him.
