Poor Ian

Well we need to get the BYU football thing off the top of our blog (compliments of Brad of course), so I will give a quick update about our little Ian. If you can believe it, he broke his other arm this past Saturday night!!! He fell into the coffee table while running right before bedtime. We immediately took him to the ER this time and it was broken! He now has casts on both arms. They did a full body scan to check whether he had any other breaks that we didn't know about that may indicate that he had some brittle bone condition. But he didn't. They said that we should keep that possibility in the back of our minds if any future breaks happen. Our ER visit was followed by a suprise visit from Child Protective Services and two police officers at 11:00 pm. They spoke with Brad and I seperately and then made me wake Mae up so that they could talk to her. I am glad they check into these sort of things, but I think they were a little too aggresive. The lady said that she came with the idea that she would take the kids with her. Thank goodness that didn't happen. She is still needing to talk to a few Dr.'s and wants us to provide some references (so some of you may be getting a call), but I think that they are understanding that it was a fluke accident--we hope.

oh my gosh, that is crazy! Poor little man.

I'm more shocked that police came with the intentions of taking your kids!

Crazy and scary! I can't believe they were planning on taking your kids. I know many kids at school who have been called about and never been visited. I'm glad things are okay. I'll email or call soon.
