Sutton in a Sling



Well it only took 20 months for Sutton to end up wrapped in a stint and wearing a sling. Sunday night Mason spent the night with TK and Rick and so we just had Sutton. Ryon was walking him to bed holding his hand when Sutton got mad about something and went limp to the floor. Ryon kept holding onto his arm and that's when the injury occurred :( He immediately started crying and wouldn't move his arm. I slept in bed with him where he was pretty miserable most of the night and in the morning we took him to the ER. Sutton is the worst to sleep with, he sleeps sideways so he kicked me all night in the stomach. He was wearing glow in the dark dinosaur pajamas though and I must say it was the cutest thing ever to sleep next to him with him glowing like that! They took X Rays of his arm and he tore his elbow up pretty bad. There is some swelling so we will go back Friday to look again at the severity of it. Hopefully just fractured and sprained. This injury is very common among kids supposedly. Seriously how many times have our boys thrown a fit and we have held onto their arms?! His spirits are good though. He is playing normal and the sling just kinda bugs him sometimes. I kept him with me today but really he has been fine. The doctor said to keep him still…haha. But he is watching polar express without running around with Mason today so that is a step in the right direction :)
