So after our lovely bout with the stomach flu (E did get a touch of it on Saturday morning), we really, really needed to get out of the house and celebrate yesterday for Father's Day. Unfortunately it was raining, so the beach was out. You know how upset I was... but it was Father's Day, so we decided to press on and have a fun family time at the bowling alley. Many of you know how much the boys enjoy bowling, so we were all looking forward to some fun. Here is a picture of N getting his shoes on and getting ready...
Unfortunately, about five minutes after this picture was taken, he tripped, dropped the bowling ball, and BROKE HIS FINGER! Yes, the ball landed on his finger and he was really hurting. Poor little guy. E took him in and had the x-rays done. Two small breaks. Apparently he was really good for the x-rays and was saying "cheese" for the special camera taking pictures of his hand. Too funny!
All they can do for it is tape it to the next finger over. So he came home with his two fingers taped together. I tried to get him to let me take a picture of it, but he would only let me take a picture of his "fixed finger" (the other hand... get it, one hand has a broken finger, the other a fixed one! The kid cracks me up sometimes.) So here is the fixed finger, while eating ice cream. Ice cream makes even a broken finger better doesn't it?
This morning he let me take a picture of the broken finger. Poor little guy. Who knew bowling was such a dangerous sport?
He's so sweet. He keeps asking me to "fix finger?" I keep telling him that God is fixing it, but it will probably take a little time. But we can help by keeping the tape on there. He calls it "my tape" as in "no water on my tape!" or "don't touch my tape!" Or if he's in a better mood it's his "super tape" as in "look e-i, I have super tape!"
I have to admit, I really didn't think it would be N that would have the first broken bone, I thought for sure little e would get one first. I also have to admit that I didn't think a bowling ball would be the cause! So, if you're keeping track... that's one ear infection, two pneumonias, two and half stomach flus, one flea infestation, and one broken finger!

Oh my. What a terrific Fathers day gift...dad gets to comfort his son at the hospital. That will be remembered in the annals of family history, I'm sure. At least there was no blood...That's what does this dad in!
Oh my.... what a time ya'll have had lately. Sounds like he was a trooper through it all though!
Seriously...I won't say a thing! Poor N!!! I'm glad to hear he's unphased by the whole thing, though. How are YOU feeling? Give me a call if you ever need to vent or just want to chat! Miss you!
Poor N! He seems to be a good sport about it though.
As far as the other illnesses, maybe you're just all developing great immune systems now to fight off future infections! Anything's possible!
