March Madness

Shauna on the Saturday afternoon of Randy leaving for Porto Rico was swinging on the swing set in the backyard and got caught up in the moment. She decided to swing without any hands on the chain and fell backwards landing wrong. Randy had about 1 1/2 hours till he was leaving and Shauna was crying on her bed from the fall. We both tried to console her. But the tears kept coming. She complained that her arm hurt a lot. We gave her the ice pack and Motrin and that is when Randy left. It was evening now and her arm started to swell. I asked myself "Why do things like this always happen on the weekend? And Why this weekend? When Randy is gone! I told Donovan that I was probably going to be gone most of the night and he would not be able to get a hold of me because at Hospitals you have to turn your cell phone off. So with worry in my heart for all my kids off to emergency room with Shauna. Hours went by and finally they came to the conclusion that it was broken. They wrapped it up into a splint and gave me a doctors name to call for Monday. So $150 later and news given to me of what I already knew. I felt ripped off! Monday came and more money spent but now she has a cast for 6 weeks! Through this experience I feel that Shauna and I have gained a deeper bond.
