The Packwoods Can't Get a Break!!!!!

Well, I guess they CAN get a break....a broken arm for Mason!!!! Yep, Gracie called yesterday in route to the hospital with Mason. He had been roller blading and he fell and his arm was broken. She didn't say "I think that Mason broke his arm" She said "Mason has broken his arm". There was a neighbor out there with him when it happened and she HEARD it snap! The neighbors were with Libby and Camden and Gracie needed me to go over to stay with the kids. She thought she would be gone for just a few hours. After getting to the hospital and taking away the blanket that Mason had his arm propped on, they found out that there was blood and in fact it was a COMPOUND fracture!!! This meant that he had to have surgery. So, another night for the Packwoods in the hospital. Both Eric and Gracie agreed that they would take one night anytime over the NINE weeks that they spent in Houston after Libby's heart surgery! They were so calm. I would have been freaking out! Mason called Whitney today and I heard her saying "I have been thinking about you all day, I just wanted to cry yesterday when I heard you broke you arm...well, you take good care of that arm and I want to sign that cast tomorrow!" They are like a little old couple in how they communicate! It is funny. Libby was at the hospital today and she almost sounded hyper when she was talking to me telling me that MASON was in the bed at the "hostital". She was probably breathing a sigh of relief that it was someone else this time! I dropped off gifts a while ago and Gracie called when they got home. There was drama going on in the background, so she is probably in for a LONG night. She kept apologizing for having to ask us to help out...she's the one who will check my kids' ears at the drop of a hat for an ear infection, she's made runs to the store when I have sick kids here, she has brought us dinner MORE than once....she seems to forget the things that she does for us!!!!
Well, pray for them. To top if off Gracie feels sick tonight, like stomach bug sick...so pray for good health at their home....she doesn't need that right now!
