A first for Thomas

his medicated stupor

you can see he's really suffering...

My Thomas was riding down the hill in the woods and hit a bump then a hole then fell off his bike. Just a moment later he called his dad and said " I broke my collar bone " Of course we didn't think that really happened because he makes assumptions like that all the time. We decided to take him to the ER because he couldn't move his arm. Poor Thomas was crying and almost screaming while the ice pack was on his shoulder, at his collar bone. The nurse said she was probably sure he broke it. The radiologist was called in, ( a friend from church ) love the small town, and took a pic. The Dr said it wasn't just a minor break, but a big one. The bones arent even touching anymore! They are laying on top of one another! Thomas had to be adjusted and put into a brace, it was very hard for me to listen to his crying while they adjusted him. He calmed down after 3 doses of medication. I brought him home and he was set up into the downstairs room ( so no one could bump him ) and setteled him into a medicated stupor. Our friend Amy watched over him through the night, and when he woke thismorning he felt better but still not very mobile. He is taking a few days off school, and mentioned " my love of biking is now my downfall." He is in good spirits and loving the well deserved attention.
