These are the X-Rays they took of Kimberly’s shoulder on Saturday at the ER
.
This was the first one (above) taken. It made me start to cry when I saw it.
This one (above) was taken at a different angle.
As the tech said, pretty obvious what the problem was.
Kimberly’s X-Rays
What a Weekend…
Well, this weekend was quite eventful. Kimberly and I were folding laundry in the family room last night while Dustin and Caleb were downstairs getting dinner ready. When dinner was ready, Dustin called for us to come down. Kimberly got excited and ran to the door, which was shut with the safety knob on. She grabbed the knob and lifted herself up, trying to open it. When that happened, it came apart and she fell to the ground on her shoulder. We took her to the ER afterward and they took X Rays. She broke her collarbone.
This has been very hard to watch her suffer – although she is quite a trooper. They put her in a sling/harness to help and we go to a bone specialist this week. Please keep her in your prayers for a speedy recovery. They say that it takes 6-8 weeks to heal but that it will probably be sooner because she is so young. I will write more as she progresses.
On a better note, Caleb took his first step on Friday.
Family Pictures
Last week a friend of ours helped us take our family pictures. We went to the Stoneridge in the evening for outdoor shots then to the church afterwards for some indoor shots as well. They turned out great. Thank you Jennifer for the beautiful job you did!!! Here are just a few pics; I will add more later.
Birthdays Came and Went
Well, it has been a couple of very busy months of birthdays.
To start it off, Caleb turned 1 in April. I cannot believe it. Where did this year go. We started the celebration off with him getting his first haircut.
He was a little fussy at first but once we took the wrap off him, he did much better. Such a handsome little guy. We held a birthday party for him at home that weekend. The theme was Curious George and I made a monkey cake for him.
By the way, he LOVES cake. He had so much fun.
Kimberly enjoyed helping Caleb open his gifts.
Dustin also had a birthday in there as well…but he seems to think he doesn’t need parties anymore. We had dinner at his parents for him.
Next, Kimberly turned 3 this month. We started her birthday weekend off by getting her first haircut as well.
She had so much fun. Then we got to go to Dustin’s work (this is the first time we have been able to go there – other than the lobby) to see Daddy’s office. From there we headed up to Spokane to celebrate both the kids’ birthdays with family and friends there. It was fun. We had a pinata and another monkey cake…the theme – still George. Unfortunately my dad had to work and my mom was sick and didn’t make it but it was nice to see them during our visit.
Last weekend, we had a party for Kimberly here in town. She had a lot of fun. The theme – bet you wouldn’t guess – still George. However, I was monkey caked out so we just had cupcakes. Still a hit though. For the past 3 months now, she has been asking for a basketball hoop. So she was really happy to actually get one…that and the bike she got – I think she was in shock when she saw them both.
Well, the parties are over now. YEAH! It is fun to celebrate for the kids, but when there are so many parties in such a short time, it kinda tires a person out. The latest project (moved from one to the next in a flash) finishing the backyard. We are in the process of weeding, laying landscape fabric, and going to lay bark. It is finally taking shape.
Easter Pics with the Kids
Well, I attempted to take the kids’ Easter pics and Caleb’s 10-Month pics last night (by myself – which is very difficult with a toddler and an infant. When I saved them, I titled them “Take I” because I was not sure how they were going to turn out. I sure LOVE Photoshop, I do wish I would have been able to get more shots of the kids though, however, I was loosing my patience and we were done.
Here are a few of the ones I liked.
Prayer Request and Update
Some of you heard last night, but I had a very busy day today and am slow in getting this posted. My sister called me yesterday to tell me about an accident that happened right by her house. A teen was crossing a busy road by the school across from her and was hit by a car. (3 of the 4 lanes stopped for him) His head was swelling and bleeding a lot and the ambulance rushed him to the hospital. Please continue to pray for him and his family.
The update is that he was released from the hospital today and is walking. He has a bruised lung and road burn on his face.
What a major God-miracle.
