The Fun Never Stops at the Call house!!

We spent the afternoon at the doctor's and hospital yesterday. Ellie broke her arm...and not the arm she hurt a few weeks ago...She was at a birthday party on Saturday at this place called Jumpin Jack's. It is like Kangaroo Zoo but smaller. She was coming down one of the slides and hit the bump and her arms flew out and she lost her balance and when she landed, she landed on her arm and Marshall said it looked like she jammed it. She complained about it but since she had just sprained her other arm and it wasn't swelling up, Marshall thought that it would be okay. Well she fell again that night at a parade and hurt it again. She cried all day on Sunday and Marshall thought that she was just being over dramatic. So she went to Daycare yesterday and they called me and told me that it was swollen and she had been complaining about it. So when she came home I noticed it was more swollen and I gave her motrin. I thought, okay if in the morning it is still swollen I am going to take her in regardless what Marshall thinks. So of course she woke up and it was pretty puffy and hard. So I made an appointment for her. When the doctor looked at it he said I bet it is fractured. So he sent me over to the Hospital to get an x-ray done and it showed a fracture on both of her bones around the wrist. They called it a buckle fracture. So we went back to the Doctor's office where they wrapped her up in a cast. She hates it. This morning she wanted it off. She kept saying "mommy it's time to take this off"! and off was emphasized!! Anyway, I feel so bad of how long we waited. Her arm didn't swell till Monday, I know it is okay now but I feel terrible that she had been in that pain for so long without getting anything done about it. Marshall feels bad to. I called and told him and he was shocked that it was broken. The doctor said that he would have sent us home anyway with just a splint till the arm was done swelling and then they would put the cast on but I still feel bad. So she got a red cast!! her favorite color...Ellie was so good through everything. The only time she cried was when we were waiting..we got to the doc's at 3 and didn't get home till 7:45!!! ya it was a long one!!

Well guys...I haven't posted for awhile. Things have been crazy and I have a ton of pics and can't figure out how to get them on the comp from my camera. Something happened and I can't find the program that pulls from the camera??? Anyway, Marshall is the computer guy here and he has been in New Mexico working so I'm stuck I guess till he is home to figure it out. Marshall is working in New Mexico on a Smith's that they are doing some demolition on. He was hired as the Asbestos Supervisor. So far he likes it. It has been hard with him gone, especially on the girls...especially on Makayla. Boy I didn't realize how attached to her dad she was. She has taken it pretty rough! So He was gone for seven days came home for Father's Day weekend and is gone this morning for another 6 weeks. So life has been really busy and crazy. Lots of activities and things are happening here now to keep the girls' mind off of Marshall being gone. Marshall gave us all blessings this morning before he left which were really neat. I love that I have a priesthood leader in my home. I didn't realize growing up what I was missing till now that the priesthood is in our home. Anyway, I know this hasn't been updated in a while so I thought I better put something on here. I hope everyone out there who are Father's had a great day. I know that I am very appreciative of My Father in laws and husband. Father's Day is always hard for me but this year really seemed to be the worst. I don't know why. But I am very grateful for the Home teachers and some of the Brethren in my life while I was growing up that were influential to me as a "father" figure. They could never stand in as my dad but they sure have come close in offering me advice, giving me those blessings when I needed it and being there to take me to those father daughter dates in church. I am very blessed and lucky that I have the gospel in my life, even more blessed that my husband and I were married in the temple, more blessed that my children were born under the covenant, and more blessed that we can continue to stay as a family unit in this crazy world! I am so grateful that Marshall supports me in my crazy ideas and projects that I always have going on. I am very grateful that he works hard to support our family. I'm sure he hates being away from us but does what he can to provide for his family. I love you Marshall!!!
