Broken Collarbone

On Wednesday I went to get Aiden out of his crib and went to pick him up under his arm pits and he just screamed. And I noticed from then on he would scream when I needed to pick him up. I thought he might have pulled a muscle or something because he would only cry for a few seconds and get over it. Well it didn't get any better so Friday afternoon we took him into the doctors and they said it was probably a pulled muscle so something along those lines and we left. (He was climbing on a chair and high fived the doctor with that arm on the way out). Well that night Aiden woke up at 4AM screaming and would not stop. We tried all his normal things to calm him down for a hour and a half until we decided to go to the ER. I stayed home and Eric took Aiden. They didn't catch it at first but Eric had them take a closer X-ray of just his collarbone and sure enough it was broken.

He is doing fine, he acts like his normal cray weird self just with only one working arm since we have to strap down his other arm so he can't move the collarbone. It just makes getting in and out of the carseat, high chair, grociey cart fun!

So it sounds like you guys don't have much of an idea of what could've happened... that is so insane! Poor little guy!

As for Eric getting his pastry degree, we might have to talk!! That could be really awesome if we could work out having him make something :)

Aw, poor boy! That is so crazy/interesting, wonder how it happened. Probably just being a normal boy being rough! He looks very cute all bandaged up though I have to say!
