~Great Way To Start Presidents Day Weekend~

Our Presidents Day weekend did not start out on the right foot.  The kids had Friday off of school for a teacher contract day.  Since Hunter had a high school game that day,  they decided to have an early practice right before the game.  Hunter hadn't been at practice for more that 15-20 minutes when I got a call from him telling me to come and pick him up because he just broke his nose.  He and another boy collided during a shooting drill.  I thought he was kidding, but he said hurry, so I ran right back up to the high school.  The minute I saw him I knew he wasn't kidding.  His nose was so crooked, so we headed straight for the Instacare.

They took one look at him at the Instacare and said we needed to see an ENT, so we headed straight to Mckay Dee Hospital to see Dr Scheuller.

Dr Schueller took one look at Hunter and said,  "Yes its broken"  He told Hunter he had 2 options;  they could put his nose back in place right now which was very painful but would make his nose feel better more quickly or they could wait a few days for the swelling to go down and then come back in, they'd give Hunter an IV and put him to sleep and then they would put it back in place.  Hunter chose to do it right then.  He's Crazy!!! But tough.

 He had broken all 3 bones in his nose.  He will be out for 2 weeks for basketball (which is the rest of the season), but what do you do?  He gets to sport this nice nose cast for a week or two to help protect it from getting bumped back out of place.  Poor kid!

We hadn't been home 30 minutes when Lexi came in my room screaming.  She was throwing a big metal ring from a stool into the air, pretending that she was in the circus.  It came down and hit her on the mouth breaking her front tooth in half (for the 3rd time).  Good thing we have connections and Richard got us right in to fix it.

What a day!!!
