On Wednesday December 22nd we were having a great day! Dennis had the day off and the boys had their Christmas program. It was a great morning. We decided to try something with Beckham that we heard could work wonders for his sleeping- a chiropractor! I made the appointment and off we went. The chiropractor was wonderful and helped Beckham with a kink in his neck and one in his back. The chiropractor was so sure this would help him sleep. We were beyond excited. We got home and had dinner. As I was getting everything ready upstairs, all the boys were downstairs playing. Dennis came up with some dishes and the two older boys followed. About two seconds later we heard SCREAMING! Beckham was so upset and uncomfortable. I knew he had fallen but assumed he was mostly tired. We put him down to sleep only to be awakened at 11:30 with more screaming. He wouldn't let us touch his arm. Dennis took him to Primary Children's Hospital at midnight. Around 4:30 I am updated by text with the above picture with the words "fractured clavicle!" I couldn't believe it. I have never dealt with anything like this before. I have come to realize that Beckham is very different from Cole and Bradley. He is a climber, has no fear, and is into everything. As tough as this is to believe, Cole and Bradley were very tame (I am sure that was a blessing to my sanity back then)! So...we have no idea if the chiropractor would have worked and this made Christmas a lot more interesting...but he is on the mend...and we are grateful!
