Sam's Fam: G-Day and a Fractured Leg!

The past couple of weeks have consisted of some super fun stuff, and some super not fun stuff! A couple of Saturdays ago was the G-Day game. Man was it crazy!! It is an awesome time to be a DAWG! The stadium was packed out. We were lucky to have reserved seats and a box we could go in when needed. Josh's dad actually drove over to go with us to the game. And I took all three of the kiddos! I hope Thomas enjoyed it because that is probably going to be his only "game" for the year. Another fun thing we've done is go to Rush. My kids LOVE Rush. They would seriously go every day if they could. Then this past Saturday we had a birthday party. It was lots of fun because there was a big bouncy house, lots of kids, and there was someone there doing Face Painting. Bryant got a lion and Taylor got a butterfly. It was fun! Now for the not so fun stuff. First, the night after the G-Day game I started feeling horrible. Turns out I had Strep throat. I don't even remember the last time I had that. Maybe high school or college...but maybe not even then. Let's just say it kicked my butt. I really don't remember the last time I have felt so bad. Thankfully I started antibiotics that Monday and was much better by Thursday. During that time of me being sick, Thomas somehow hurt himself. I have no idea how, but on Tuesday he just started limping. And he would cry when I touched a certain part of his lower right leg. Then on Wednesday he just got worse, and even started crawling again some. So, I knew something must be wrong. Turns out he somehow fractured his leg. The fracture is actually down by or on the growth plate of the fibula. I think. The Orthopedic doctor was saying a lot...and I had three kids with me...but I'm pretty sure that's where it is. So he's been in a cast since last week, and we go back to the Orthopedic again next Wednesday. I pray that he will be completely healed then, and that it will have healed the proper way so as not to cause any future problems with the growth of that bone...which can apparently happen when the injury is on the growth plate. Anyway, I'm sure it will be fine, but it is not much fun having him in a cast. And I have definitely had some Dejavu! Didn't one of my other children break their leg around this age...maybe on their first birthday... ;) Anyway, that's about it! Below are pictures.
