Lazy Days of Summer?

Whoever it was that coined the phrase "Lazy Days of Summer" must not have had a LIFE!! School has been out here for exactly 13 days and today is the first time that I had any "lazy" time. My lazy time was about three hours in length, all while sitting in the Urgent Care Clinic, wondering if Stephen had indeed broken his arm.

This morning, just before lunch, the boys were playing out in the yard with the sprinkler. Stephen didn't want to get sprayed at one point, so he ran up the slide. Timothy turned the sprinkler on the slide just as Stephen was jumping off the side. He slipped and landed on his elbow.

Unfortunately, three hours at the clinic didn't solve anything. The x-rays show that there are no fractures of any sort, no torn ligaments and nothing else visible. There is now a possibility that it could be broken cartilage in his elbow. We have an appointment on Monday at the bone clinic at the hospital.

I can tell that something is indeed wrong because he just wants to lie around and not do anything. He even threw up a few times and refused to eat his favorite alphabet soup and Canada Day ice cream (Chapman's Maple Leaf white ice cream with a red maple leaf in the middle). He's resting comfortably on the couch watching Story Keepers right now. Poor guy. What a time for something like this to happen to him.

Please pray for Stephen while we wait to go to the bone clinic on Monday. He was very brave today as everyone poked and prodded him and moved his arm all over the place, but I know he's still in pain. I think he's now going to be forced to have a few lazy days of summer until his arm starts to heal!
