Grandma and Grandpa Baer came to visit us the first part of August and watched the kids for a few days, while Luke and I worked. Grandpa decided to take a little spin on Tubbs' scooter...and took a spill. After a visit to the Urgent Care (and an orthopedist)....Grandpa was on the road to recovery.
The outcome: a sprained right wrist, fractured left wrist...and stitches in the left shin.
I don't think Grandpa will forget this trip anytime soon.
I think it's just too bad that someone didn't capture it on video, so Grandpa could relive it over (and over and over) again. Poor Grandpa. :)
Thank goodness for grandparents who entertain the grand kids at all costs....even though I think Grandpa was just looking for a little excitement himself.
Well...week two of school Bubba calls me from school. He was playing kickball at lunch and fell on his wrist, sliding into a base. (Unfortunately, he was out.) :) I took him to the Urgent Care and he has a "Buckle fracture" in his left wrist. Bubba and Grandpa Baer are quite a pair.
I am just thankful it wasn't his writing hand! Gotta think of the positive, right?!
Bubba really wanted gray, but since that wasn't an option he went for black. Nice choice, even though it pretty much makes it impossible for anyone to sign his cast.
That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
