This week

Easter Sunday was hectic. I had to go to work at 5 am and by the time that I was able to finally get home, it was time to run. We had to pick up kids, run to my mothers, and run to the in-laws before I could finally sit down and take a second to relax. While we were at the in-laws house, our youngest was running through the yard and his cousins dog (great dane) goldie decided to run after him. I was in the house at the time and all that I heard was crying. What I understand is that goldie knocked him over and he hit the ground hard. I checked it out and it seemed to be fine, but thought that it would be bruised and sore for a few days. I was wrong. Come Wednesday he was still complaining and had some pretty tender spots. It was no more than twenty minutes after my husband and I had talked about taking him to the doctor and the school called me to come and pick him up. So, I called the doctor and I was told to take him to the new Orthopedics Center on west 7th. I made him an appointment for the next day.
After we arrived and got all of the paperwork done, they took him back for ex-rays. I have to say that the ex-ray tech was amazing. I have never had a medical professional be truly concerned to the point that she was. She made sure that she did not hurt him with all of the adjustments and she also made sure that his privates were covered so that nothing was affected .
When we got into the room,. we could not have been in there 2 or 3 minutes before the doctor came in. Matthew's collar bone is fractured! The doctor was very good, or as good as you can be, about explaining the injury to my 6 year old.
I wanted to post this this week because I have never had such a good experience with a doctors office. These people are truly remarkable, and I would recommend them to everyone that I know.
