First off, YAY. I am so excited to hear y’all are up for a little book club! Let me think through the options and I’ll do a post this week with some ideas. 🙂

On Saturday, Aunt Nicole and Hudson came in town for a little bit while Uncle Caleb was off doing a dental mission trip in Jamaica. So fun to see them!

Eisley was a super big grouch the whole day on Saturday and Saturday night, she started running a 103 degree fever right at dinner time. She ran one Sunday and woke up with one on Monday and just looked miserable, so I took her in to the pediatric urgent care Monday morning and we found out she had strep.

Poor sweet girl. She was just so sad. She finally started to feel a little bit better Monday night with the antibiotics and after a four hour nap, but I’ve never seen her so sick before. It totally broke our hearts.

She finally started feeling better and we got to see Nicole and Hudson Tuesday night before they left. Then, yesterday, Nathan was running through the house (something he’s not supposed to do), slipped on the kitchen floor, caught himself weird and immediately started screaming.

When he was still crying off and on 20 minutes later, I knew it was bad so I took him right to urgent care. They did x-rays (which were AWFUL. He was sobbing, I was crying, it was awful) and the first doctor didn’t seen anything but the radiologist decided he had a fracture.

SO sad!! We made it almost seven years without a break. I don’t think I really processed what happened until he went to bed last night and then I just couldn’t get over it. 🙁 He’s doing okay – right now, the cast is still kind of cool to him but I have a feeling that sentiment is going to end pretty quickly.

He’s in a temporary cast until Monday which was the first appointment the orthopedic doctor had available. Since it’s not a permanent cast, he was told to sit down and watch Netflix for the next few days since this cast isn’t as stabilizing (or as water-resistant) as a permanent cast. Looks like we might have a long weekend ahead. 🙁 So thankful though – if he had to break an arm, I’m very thankful it was his left and not his right.

In other words, Mom is sort of all-done-urgent-care around here and I’m totally turning into that mother on Little Giants and wrapping all three kids in bubble wrap for the forseeable future.
