Yes, that must have been what Deven was thinking when he decided to open up the treadmill by himself yesterday afternoon.
I was in the livingroom spinning and Deven was in his room playing, or so I thought, when he let out his blood curdling cry. We were both pretty scared, and he seemed to be alright, with the exception of his shoulder really hurting him. So, we decided to take him to the emergency room as a precaution. For the first time ever (in the history of all my kids) we got seen right away in an emergency room. A quick examination by the DR. sent us down to X-ray, and revealed a hairling fracture of his collar bone. The DR says he will heal just fine, as long as we can get him to take it easy, (which is like telling us to stop the tide from ebbing and flowing) and he has to wear a shoulder/posture supporting brace until he is seen on Tuesday by an Orthopedist. The DR wasn't too worried about Deven's injury, but made us the appt. witht he specialist just to be sure (again, a miracle for the military medical system as the appt is for Tues.) So, we will keep you posted as to what the DR says at his appointment.
As for Deven this morning: No change here, except he is complaining about the shoulder supporter. Toys are all over the place, and he is as if nothing even happened. Ok, that's it from here.

Oh my goodness! Glad to hear he is (probably) fine. I've heard jokes that if you put kids in the same room as a broken bone they'll heal..I'm amazed you got seen right away! The only time we've had that happen was when Dan had that allergic reaction for the second time and his throat was swelling shut! Hugs for all of you!
