My apologies for no new updates the past several days. For those of you who don't know, my 2 eldest children, Phillip and Alex, pulled our big entertainment center (my husband estimates 5' x 7') on top of themselves on Saturday.
The entire lower half of Alex's body was pinned, but he seemed to get out of it mostly unharmed. His right cheekbone is a bright purple, probably from the dvd player or something hitting his face as it fell. He did complain for a little while the first day of his wrist hurting (I think he must have reached out to try to stop himself from falling), but it was mainly when Phillip was getting attention, so we weren't too worried about it.
Phillip was only caught by his left leg, which was slightly purple and swollen immediately after the accident, but quickly got back to looking fine. An hour after the accident however, he still refused to walk on it and seemed to be in a lot of pain. We took him in to the E.R. and they did x-rays. They didn't find a thing.
He didn't walk the rest of the day Saturday or at all on Sunday, although by Sunday, in desperation to be moving around, he was crawling around the house some. He started walking again Monday afternoon with a limp and a lot of obvious pain each time he put his weight on that leg. As of today, he seems to be ok, although still not doing any running. He can walk without pain and you only notice his limp if you're looking for it.

Wow and ouch! I am glad to hear that things are looking better. I have been afraid that very thing would happen to our climber. We will pray that he continues to heal and that the pain goes away. Thank you for blogging I look most everyday.
