When you jump down 12 stairs

Yep! I have been expecting this moment since Jaron could crawl. Yesterday while I was cleaning my house Jaron loaded the landing in the basement with pillows. Then he went into the family room and ran and jumped down the entire flight of stairs! He did make it to the pillows, but surprize, it still hurts!

This happened at 3:00, and we took him to Urgent Care at 7:15. There were several times when I about threw him in the car to take him to the doctor, but he insited that he wanted to see daddy and have a blessing first and see if he had any suggestions for him first. I think that is so sweet. The kids have so much love for Sean, and I love it!

Sean ended up taking Jaron to the doctor. He did not break anything, he just has a really bad sprain. They gave him a glass (fiberglass) cast, wrapped in an ace bandage. They did send the x-rays to be read by a radiologist today. They think he may have damaged his growth plate. If that is the case they will have to put him into a hard cast.

This glass cast is not a walking cast, so Sean has to carry Jaron around. I do worry about Seans back, but it is so sweet to see. I will take a photo next time, and post it later--no need for unnecessary back strain!!

Thank heavens for Jake. He has come over and watched movies with Jaron. I think having Jake here really helps Jaron keep his mind off of it. I think they are on their 3rd movie! Sean went to K&B to get him some more videos.

I do feel so thankful for good friends and family. I really do feel comfortable in our home and neighborhood and feel truly blessed. This is an awesome time in life and I am so greatful for it.

**P.S. I didn't feel so greatful yesterday with a filthy house, and kids fighting and screaming, but today has been heaven. I guess we need days like yesterday to appreciate days like today.
