We all go to bed at different times. Sweet Pea goes to bed first, then me, then Elmo. Elmo is more of a night owl and likes to have his alone time after we have gone to bed and the house is quiet. He normally spends his time reading, playing video games, or working on the computer.

Last night playing a video game was the activity of choice. He normally keeps a pillow nearby to bang on when he gets excited or frustrated about something that is happening in the game. Well…last night during an exciting moment in his game his hand didn’t quite make contact with the pillow. Instead it made contact with the floor. Yikes!

He came upstairs around midnight in so much pain I could tell we would probably be making a trip to the ER. We woke up poor Sweet Pea, loaded into the car and headed for the hospital. Four hours later, we had a friend come up to sit with Elmo so I could take Sweet Pea back home and put him back to bed. He was awake and cranky the whole time we were there. Elmo and his friend finally made it home at 7:30 this morning. Elmo sporting his splint and broken hand. He has to go into the doctor this week again to have it looked at and to put a permanent cast on instead of a splint.
