THE FAMILY. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

The Tale of a Broken Clavicle


On December 20th Cole decided to take a tumble out of a friends kitchen window. He was walking on the window sill and pushed right through the screen falling 3 feet to the grass below. We took him to the doctor where she proclaimed "Wow, that's a remarkable break." She was talking about his right clavicle. The treatment... a lovely sling and a follow up appointment with orthopedics in one week. It's been a difficult injury for a little boy who's convinced he's capable of becoming a super hero if he practices hard enough. Maybe in the future he'll think twice before performing window sill stunts.

Poor little Cole. He looks so sad in that pic. I can't believe that happened. Just adding more Christmas memories!!

Poor guy, I hope his follow-up appointment went well and he's on his way to getting his sling off. Keep us posted.
