So...I was going to run a few miles with Amy this AM nice and easy before Moab tomorrow, but I had a change in plans around 8PM. Craig left for China this morning, so I should've known something fun was going to happen!
I went to the temple sealing of a great family in our ward and they had a reception at the church pavillion afterward so I took the kids as we headed out to go to the library and the grocery store for some non-spicy toothpaste for David. HA! Adam started crying and after a minute when he didn't stop I went over to see what the matter was. Ummm....his forearm was bent! I knew from the first look that his arm was broken and that I had a long night ahead of me.
A couple of brothers at the reception helped give Adam a blessing, Lauren took the other 2 boys home and I headed up to Primary Childrens. Adam fell asleep in the car. Luckily, I had the stroller in the car, because I'd met Smooth for a nice walk in S Jordan while Larry was in dialysis. We spent the rest of the night in the hospital. A very long night including x-rays, waiting, sedation, meds, loopy little boy ON meds, manual reset of the bones in his arm, soft casting, waiting for recovery, getting meds and finally heading home. I did stop at the store on the way home at 4:00 in order to get the all important non-spicy toothpaste so that David would brush his teeth.
Needless to say, going to bed at 5AM isn't normal for me. Sometimes I wake up at 5 to run, sometimes I go to bed at 5AM! So, I slept, got boys off to school (thankfully Lauren's last day was yesterday!) and went back to bed until I HAD to wake up to get packed and ready to drive to Moab. I was able to arrange it so that Lauren came with me and could watch Adam while I ran. I also drove JaNae and Kimberly. It was a fun ride down and they were both very accomodating to the ornery little boy with the broken arm!
I ended up sleeping on the floor with Adam and gave Lauren my spot in a bed, because I didn't want him to wake up in pain and bother anyone in the room. Not ideal, but it was better than cancelling on the pace job or having Adam at someone else's house!
