Ok, Evan has his first big ouch-y. He has a broken collar bone! It's actually not so bad. He took a little fall off our bed earlier this week, and apparently it was hard enough to break his little bone. He kept acting like something was bothering him, but we couldn't figure out what until this morning when we noticed some swelling in his left neck/shoulder. So, we took him for an x-ray and sure enough, it's broken. They said the good thing about kids' bones is that they're surrounded by a really thick sort of tissue so that if they do break, they don't actually pop out of place like an adult's would. So, that saves them from having to have bones set, and it also cuts down on healing time. So thank goodness for that! He does have to wear a little brace around his shoulders, which he does NOT like, for at least two weeks. So, wish us luck with the brace and pray for him to heal quickly!

Oh NO! That is the saddest thing I have EVER seen!
Oh my goodness! It must be a family thing...I can think of 3 others in our family who also broke their collar bone. Hope he heals really fast.
Poor little guy. Hugs and Kisses to you Evan. Hope it heals soon!!
