Hunter....is accident prone!

 Shew...in my last post I mentioned that so much had been going on, mom had been in the hospital, I had been sick, Hunter had strep throat and so on.  It never ends....

Tuesday evening after school I was sewing, Richard and Andrew were outside working on a vehicle and Hunter was being Hunter.  He was climbing a tree and fell.  He fell about 8ft landed on some underbrush and a barbed wire fence.  I'm sewing away and Andrew runs in the house and says, "MOMMY, HUNTER FELL AND BROKE HIS WRIST"  Of course, I start running and screaming as I get outside Richard is coming out of the woods trying to walk Hunter out and all I can see is that his hand is dangling.  :(  Richard takes him straight to the Jeep and grab my purse and run for the Jeep.  Meanwhile I am yelling for Andrew to unplug my iron and lock the doors.  In the excitement, we run off and leave Andrew by accident.  LOL!  When Hunter fell he fell about 8ft and landed on his left side.  He was having pain in his hip, ribs, head, and his arm.  On the way to the hospital he was on the verge of passing out, he was real sweaty, pale and having some trouble breathing.  Thank God that Richard and Andrew were home with me when this happened.  

So we get to the emergency room and we are getting Hunter out when Andrew pulls in....that is when I realized that we had forgotten him.  LOL!  They took him straight in as he did not look well.  They did lots of scans, x-rays and cleaned up his cuts and in the end he broke his wrist.  A clean break....snapped both bones. 

 The bandage on his finger is for a cut from the barb wire.  He is a very lucky little boy!  As you may have guessed Hunter is a very active little guy that loves being outside.  He worries me sick!  Yesterday he had an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon to follow up.  He said that no surgery was needed and he has to go back in 2 weeks for a check up and wear the brace for a total of 4 weeks.  

My dear friend, Kay baked a delicious cake for us.  She said she just wanted to brighten our day a little.  It was a Coco-Cola Cake.  Very good...rich but good.  :)  As you can see in the photo that I dug into it with a spoon.  LOL!  I just needed some CHOCOLATE after all that has been going on.  :)

 I haven't had a chance to read blogs lately so please don't give up on me, I will get to them soon.  I did sew a little today.  I just needed to sew and try to relieve some stress.  I worked on my turtle quilt but didn't get a photo of it.  I will post it next time.  I also pinned some burp cloths together and then I cut out another baby quilt and started sewing it together.  Here it is up on my design wall. 

 Just a very quick and simple strip quilt.  This is very different from what I usually work on.  I have the strips sewn but I don't have the rows sewn together yet.  This is only half of it on the wall and the other half has the same fabrics in it so it just continue this pattern.  After I get it all sewn together, I will cut down the white sides to the size that I want and it will be ready for quilting. It seems like everyone around here is having babies!  

 That is all for now....I'm going to wash another load of laundry and get back to sewing.
