Samuel falls down the Stairs

Over our Easter break, Samuel fell down the stairs. He was simply walking down and tripped and missed the last three stairs and broke his left elbow. He had a supercondylar fracture. He was such a trooper when we took him to A&E, he didn't cry once and took the X-rays like a champ. However, the pain must have been pretty intense because he did vomit several times. He was admitted into the hospital and had surgery the next morning. While everyone else in the country and around the world was watching the Royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton Samuel was having his operation. He was in the hospital for several days. He had wires placed in his arm so that he wouldn't have a broken wing like his mom. When they had to remove the wires there was quite a bit of screaming, but he was such a brave boy. We are pretty sure that although they had been vaccinated the boys seem to have caught the chicken pox at the same time, which made Samuel very sick in the hospital and caused Owen to have some nasty skin peeling around his birth mark. It was a trying month, but everyone pulled through.

Samuel got completely spoiled during his recovery!

Day two of taking out the wires, amazing how fast he healed.
