I'm not sure how to start this post other than to just say it. Devin had surgery today after breaking his elbow when he fell off the top of our neighbors playground. He climbed to the top of the swing set after I had told him not to and fell off. I didn't see it happen but he came over to me crying so I just walked him down the street to Shawn and he looked at him and decided he needed some x-rays. Shawn was so calm about it I really didn't think much of it, and then he called me a while later and said, "He's fine, just needs surgery." And my response was, "He's fine or he needs surgery." Both didn't seem to go together in my head. Shawn took care of everything and Devin had pins put into his elbow this morning and is fine now. I guess our family feels the need to single handedly supply the ortho department with work. Here are a few cute pictures of how the morning went.
Here he is waking up from surgery. And buddy got to go with him just like when he had his eye surgery.
He's a little more awake in this picture in all his post op glory. His broken arm is the one laying down all wrapped up. The other thing is to keep his IV in.
Caroline and Graham had a blast watching movies eating lots of bacon and egg sandwiches and slurpees. Caroline said it was the best day ever.
I was amazed at how fast they were he went in for surgery at 8:30 and we went home at 10:30. I love Shawn's job right now. Devin will get a cast on Friday so we'll be quite the pair with our casts. I'll make sure to take a picture of it. Wish us luck that we don't break anything else this week.

Poor baby boy! And enough of supporting the Ortho Dept.!
Poor guy! Seems like he handled it well though! Do you get a discount on surgery since Shawn works there :)
That's pretty fast service! Give him a hug for me.
Oh poor Devin!! But he still looks so cute!..sorry handsome, I don't want to offend him :) You guys are having some terrible luck, but like you said its a good thing that Shawn's a doctor! Hope he heals quickly! And I hope you are healing quickly too! You two will make quite the pair!!
I love that Caroline thought it was the best day ever! Haha! your kids are so easily pleased!
And that huge cast really breaks my heart. Poor Devin.
Oh man! You guys have had a lot going on. Poor Devin and poor mom (since I believe it effects both parties. ) ;)
The picture of him slurping his icee is priceless. Haha. Glad he's ok. You seriously deserve a vacation to Texas. :) I hope this week is much calmer for you.
:( poor guy! That really takes the fun out of being a boy for a while. I did love that you and shawn differed on your opinion of "fine". That's exactly how Brian and i would have reacted. Guess he's seen a lot worse. ..
