The "Ribbe's Big Southern Adventure" has certainly been nothing short of that! We chalked up broken bone # 7 for our family this past Saturday. Eli made an amazing save as goalie for his first Columbia Dynamos soccer game, unfortunately at the expense of his radius! The ER doctor commented in his notes that "brother was recently seen for fx arm"....good thing we have about 30 witnesses for Saturday's incident! It would be nice to not meet Child Protective Services during our stay in South Carolina!!
To Eli's delight, the Orthopedist on Monday said he can most likely resume soccer in a week. The league requires casts to be wrapped in bubble wrap for games (so as not to accidentally render any opposing player unconscious!), so we will need to dig through our packing boxes in the attic to find a quantity suitable for two boys!!
I have to take Rob to the airport at noon today...boo hoo! Thirteen days until he is back with us for six months! Onward with the adventure!
Like I said, we ought to get one orthopedist out of the bunch!
ReplyDeleteNo comment, all I can do is laugh....hysterically. I counted five broken bones, and I am wondering who did I miss. I am glad that the injury was not severe. Way to go on saving the ball, Eli.
ReplyDeleteEi-yi-yi, Jackie! Motherhood is a wonderful experience! I had two boys and made more than one trip to the emergency room over the years. I love your blog and am so thankful you are having a wonderful time. Love ya, Joy M
ReplyDeleteWow! Way too many broken limbs for one family. I'm glad it is only limiting soccer playing for a little while. I must admit that I thought the ER might question what was going on with two broken arms so close together. I think it is the kids' behavior they should be investigating, not the parents. I'm glad Eli made the save, but perhaps he should play a little less competitively?
ReplyDeleteI am wondering how Jacob's performance with the high school band went. It sounds a lot less dangerous and at least as much fun. I hope you all are doing well despite the crises. Kelly
