When it Rains, it Pours

The title of this blog entry seems to be my life motto. Well, for the past few weeks anyway. I have gone to the doctor with Lily every week for the past month. Once for her well check-up and four times for her leg. It's been really stressful, but I'm so grateful that we were able to renew Lily's insurance in time for this to come up.
Yesterday, however, was a little different. I had to take William to the doctor yesterday for his neck. The night before last, he wasn't holding his head up right. It was either hanging forward or back. Nothing had changed the next morning and I freaked out and Matt came home to help me handle everything that was on my shoulders. I'm surprised that he did, but I can't even tell you how much of a basket case I was. With it being a neck injury, I was so nervous. My mind went to the worst case scenario. Not to mention that I already have a child that is broken! It was just so much of an overload for me. I really appreciated Matt's strength and understanding of where I was at mentally. Here is a picture of William in his neck brace. What happened? I can show you in less words than I can tell you. Scroll down.
Remember this picture that I posted in my photo gallery post? It's not exactly what happened, but it did involve Matt playing with William. Matt tossed Will onto the couch and I'm guessing that he landed wrong on his neck. After 4 hours of waiting and a x-ray later, we found out the diagnosis.
Will has whiplash. He's recovering beautifully, but as for the time being, I have a daughter in a walking boot, and a son in a neck brace. If you guys don't see us out in public, you know why.
