Aidan's Arm

So, Jordan and I have joked during the spring wondering what wild things would happen during the first couple weeks after Owen was born, because we had such adventures after Gresham was born. The week Gresham was born, we had fire ants IN the house. They got into Aidan's bed on multiple occasions, including one incident in the middle of the night in which I was up feeding Gresham and Jordan and Aidan were up changing his sheets and trying to squish fire ants without getting bit. Fun times. Later that week, Aidan fell in the kitchen while playing "tiger" and knocked four teeth loose. I was still on driving restriction after my c-section, but thankfully Jordan was home to take him on an emergency dental visit.

Which brings us to to this past weekend... Aidan played at a friend's house on Friday afternoon and fell while having a race. He landed on some toys on a carpeted floor. His friend's mom carefully checked out his arm, and nothing looked seriously wrong, but she let me know when she brought him home that he had not been using the arm all afternoon. We checked out his arm, and he screamed every time we touched it. To make a long story short, we ended up waiting until the next morning and then went to the children's hospital because it wasn't any better. We were very thankful to the Lord that it wasn't broken, but just dislocated, and after the doctor popped it back into place, he was fine!

On Sunday night, we went to an all-church picnic, and Aidan played in the bounce house all evening. A friend of ours saw him in the bounce house and said, "Aidan, be careful with your arm!" His response was, "Oh, I don't have to! The doctor said I don't have to be careful!"

Yep, that's my Aidan!
