It has been a long month! I guess I never really posted anything about how Lindsay broke her arm. On april 23, she was trying out Alyssa's heelies and fell backward onto her elbows, breaking the end of the humerus of her right arm. They just splint these type of breaks for two weeks and then have them wear a sling for another week and TA-da, they are fine. But of course not Lindsay. She had sooo much pain. They are thinking now that when she hit her elbow she really hurt a nerve. After some physical therapy and the use of a TENS unit (that stimulates nerves), and almost FOUR weeks, she is finally using her arm again. But, she also ended up with a high fever and an extremely sore throat which has now been going on for FOUR days. To say the least, we haven't slept through the night since she broke her arm. I am definitely too old for this. I do not know how I managed on little to no sleep when I had little babies. But hopefully, we will be back to sleeping through the night again VERY soon.

Today, since I had to stay home from work with my little feverish sicky, I cleaned out a few cupboards and drawers, and then took some time to finish the book I got for mother's day--Fablehaven 3. I HIGHLY recommend this book. I have never really liked fantasy type books, but read the first one in order to entice Daniel to read more and discuss a book with him to make sure where his comprehension level was. That was two years ago. Book 1 was awesome! Book 2 was not quite as good, and book 3 was great! I am considering reading the Twilight series next.

I know it is late in coming, but a huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped with Lindsay's baptism: Brittney for leading the music, Joey for playing the piano, Jeslie for giving a talk, Alyssa for giving a talk, Grandma and Dan for the prayers, and everyone who came and supported us. And of course, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, to Aunt Debbie for the beautiful princess dress!!! Lindsay was sooo thrilled with the whole day.

But, she has not been thrilled with her broken arm. She is still struggling with how bad her elbow has been hurting. Last week we tried to have an MRI done, but she could not stand to lay on the table the way the wanted her to, let alone be shoved inside that tiny little tube with all the loud noises. So, we have been trying to deal with her pain by distracting her from it because pain meds have not helped either. The doctors have basically just said that they can't understand why it is hurting so bad and according to the x-rays she should be doing fine. (but she is not) They told us our best bet was to take her to Primary Children's ER. So we did. But they were not so helpful either. Anyway, we will see the doctor again tomorrow. I think that it is a nerve that either got bumped or something. Anyway, we have not had a lot of sleep or got much done over the last few weeks.

But I did have a HAPPY MOTHER's DAY. Since I was the one fixing the dinner I splurged on a key lime cheesecake from Costco. (yum)

This is a very busy week for us. Alyssa's school play is Thursday and Friday. She is not in a lead role this year, but is playing several different parts. Daniel has a big choir performance. I am in charge of Enrichment this week, but hopefully my Enrichment leader is doing most of the work.
