I am tired, emotional, worn-out and I can't sleep...

so, I am going to blog about our day!

Jake decided to "break" in the New Year and

"Jump feet first" into 2009.
(really not funny but sometimes you just have to laugh!)

Our sweet little Jakey broke his leg....in two spots :(

We were at my parent's house and decided to take the kids

for a walk...K&J love to walk on the neighbors wall and when

they get to the end they jump off. It is no more than 18

inches off the ground...not that high.
Jake got to the end and holding my hand he jumped/stepped off.
He started to cry and when I

picked him up, I knew he was really hurt. Off to the ER.

Two x-rays, one IV and some good old morphine...

Jake is sent home with a temporary splint that he

will wear for 10 days. The GOOD news...both breaks were

super clean and should heal fine with a cast.
The BAD news...he has to wear the splint for 10 days

and CANNOT walk or put any pressure on his leg.

In 10 days we go to the orthopedist and

he gets a walking cast!

Here are a few pictures...

Kelly helping him eat a go-gurt! Without the girly pink sock :) The sock is so he does not play

with the splint and to help it stay clean.

For the next 10 days, Jake will be sleeping in his new swing

(thank you Grandma for getting it!)

He is active in his crib and the ER doctors recommended

getting him a swing to sleep in. So far...so good...

he is sleeping soundly.

Here are the men hard at work putting together

Jake's new bed.

Please pray that Jake is not in too much pain.

Pray that Karl and I make it through 10 days

of trying to keep a VERY active toddler quiet.

Thank you Grammy & Papa for watching Kelly and

reassuring her that Jakey would be okay!

Thank you Grandma for running all over

trying to find a swing for Jake!!

XOXO
