Does this look right to you?

Last Friday, during one of the many wrestling matches that take place in my house on a daily basis, Russell fell off the bed. I took him to emergency right away but they sent us home with no real answers to our questions, just some vague instructions to observe and monitor him for a few days. Well, he had a lump on his shoulder that persisted for the next few days and felt a lot harder than typical swelling would feel. As soon as my doctor's office re-opened after Easter, early Tuesday morning, I took him back in to be seen and x-rayed.

Even I can tell that that doesn't look the way it's supposed to look.

So off we went to the emergency room again, this time for a diagnosis of a fractured and displaced clavicle. We have an appointment with the fracture clinic specialist tomorrow morning and I'm left wondering why I couldn't have girls? Lovely girls who would like to sit around and braid each other's hair and play clapping games with one another in the mornings rather than wrestle and roar?
