Broken

Sweet little Weston broke his collar bone on Friday night. My parents had the twins while we were at a wedding and took them for a walk. While parked on a hill, the breaks weren't completely locked and the stroller swiveled sideways and tipped with the boys in it. Coleson only got a scratch on his forehead, but Weston didn't get so lucky. My mom thought he was fine and put them to bed, but she called early the next morning and told me that he wasn't using his right arm at all. Nick brought him to the doctor, where they confirmed that his collar bone was broken. They suggested that we keep his arm wrapped against his chest for about 10 days to keep him from using it. He's been pretty uncomfortable, but he has been a trooper. For some reason, getting to sleep is really hard for him, so I've been rocking him to sleep every night. He also gets to keep his blankie and binkie all day for comfort. (Hopefully these things won't become habits!) Today we didn't need pain medicine until bedtime, so we are making some progress!
---All wrapped up right when he got back from the doctor---
