Kallsen has broken his clavicle. For those not in the medical profession, that is otherwise known as his collarbone.
Last Saturday night I was sick and slept in the guest bedroom (known in our house as 'Joe's Room') and the boys slept with Momma. Because I was sick and my wife didn't want me to spread the germs.
While sleeping in our bed Kallsen fell out of the bed. He had complained about his shoulder hurting on Sunday. But his shoulder hurting didn't stop him from running and going crazy as kids do. As the week went on and he continued to complain, we decided to go have his shoulder looked at. And he had a broken bone.
Now, of course, we feel bad we didn't act sooner. At the same time who knew? I'm just glad it wasn't more serious. We'll post pictures when he gets his vest he'll have to wear to protect the bone while it heals. He gets fitted for that tomorrow.

poor sweetie kallsen.....it was so nice to talk to you all tonight and to hear how kallsen was enjoying the banana he was eating..I hope his collarbone heals quickly and the vest will be comofortable for him to wear..
Poor baby!! Oh my gosh! I hope he is feeling better really soon!
Oh no! It is my hope that Kallsen has a speedy recovery.
I worry as well when Tommy is tugging at his ear, then stops, then does it again that I am not being the caring and attentive parent that I should be. But you nailed it. It is extremely difficult to judge the severity of injuries, illness, etc. until it is understood what is going on. I know that all I can do is be there and be attentive to what is going on - something that SarahBeth and yourself are very good example of.
Poor guy! I hate he's having such a hard month (with having to get his head shaved, and now this). All of us here in MS hope he's feeling better soon, and hope Santa will bring him a little something extra!
Merry Christmas!
