It's a great week to have health insurance!

Our week started off with a bang! Literally... Monday morning around 2:30 am, Beckett woke us up screaming that his shoulder hurt. He was crying, but half asleep, so finding out what was wrong was next to impossible. We sat with him for around an hour, figuring that he slept wrong on his shoulder or arm. We tried asking him if he fell out of bed or was jumping on his bed. He said no to everything. That morning, he complained a little of his shoulder hurting again. Two seconds later, he was up running around playing with London, so again, I didn't think much of it. Matt noticed a bit later that he wasn't using his left arm, so we decided to take him to the pediatrician and get it checked out. Lo and behold, his clavicle was fractured! He told the doctor that he had been doing a magic trick and flipped out of bed. This was news to us! He changed his story about a million times after that, so we honestly have no idea how he actually broke it!He put him in a sling for a month and told him no running, jumping, bike riding, etc. Did we mention that he's 3?!? He's been a good sport about it, but slowing him down is not easy!

Fast forward to Friday night... we're at a BBQ with the dr. and office staff I work with. Beck is walking up some stone stairs in the backyard. He falls and is unable to catch himself, because of his arm being in a sling, and lands right on his face. We rush over to get him, and he was completely covered in blood. Scary! We took him inside, and Dr. Yates, a plastic surgeon, looked at it. He said that Beck had knicked an artery and that he definitely needed stitches. It look a good 20 minutes to get the bleeding under control. Poor kid! We finally got him settled down and the bleeding stopped so we could head to the doctor. Luckily, the closest clinic had after care hours so we didn't have to take him to the ER. Beck was a champ! We didn't even have to hold him down during the numbing injection. Imaging seeing a needle coming right between your eyes and holding still. We were so proud! He had the doctors and nurses laughing the entire time. He loves the fact that he has "string" between his eyes! He kept asking the doctor for a mirror to look at the stitches. He's pretty swollen this morning, but still the cutest little guy ever!
