a day in the life

It was red and it had ketchup on it. He had gotten used to wearing it and was functioning very well. Jake's cast had become a permanent fixture around the house.

Yesterday Mark took Jake to get a new cast....a little bit tighter since the swelling had gone down. It was also below the elbow rather than over. Happy days have come again......the doctor said the break was healing so well that the cast may come off completely two weeks early.

Hold that thought....

Eli is having a little problem with his sitting up, pulling up, standing up ability. His doctor suggested that a therapist come by the house to evaluate the little guy. That happened today.

Jake was in his room when this lady doctor appeared. In a little while he wandered out to where Amanda, Eli, and the doctor were chatting about Eli's condition.

Well.....he thought that the doctor was his grammy. He started calling my name over and over and putting on his welcoming show for this lady. At one point he started playing with some balls. As he threw the ball across the room the cast came off and went flying through the air finally to land with a loud thump.

By this time Eli is crying, the doctor is trying to calm Eli and Jake, Jake's broken arm is flopping in the breeze, and Amanda has placed an hysterical call to the doctor. In a matter of minutes all hell had broken loose.

Mark was called to come from work to take Jake back to the doctor for his third cast. As Jake is being carried away, he's crying for his grammy to come with.

Eli will have to be checked out later...................nothing much came of the visit today.

A day in the life of a house filled with babies.
