First real post

So- we now have a blog for the family-cool huh?  As most of you know we have a caring bridge page for Camryn that we have always updated with fun family things.  From this point on, caring bridge will ONLY be used for updates on Camryn's physical health and those issues. 
THIS blog will be about the rest of the happenings of the Akerson clan.. as you can see we have no real title as Scott and I could not agree so here we are
I guess the big news is that Mr. Collin broke his arm on Friday.  He fell off the monkey bars at school and broke both his radius and ulna at the wrist.  Man is this little man tough!!!  We knew he was but he was such a trooper yesterday.  The car ride to Glennon was rough on him but once they had some morphine on board he really settled down.  They were able to reduce the fracture with some Versed and Ketamine so Collin has no memory of that.  Pain has been pretty well controlled.  He is sad though, his flag football season came to an abrupt end!  He does not like how heavy the plaster splint is.  He does not like that he will be in something like that for at least 6 weeks.  He has some real empathy for Camryn and has said many times he doesn't know how she handles things with one arm.  She has the advantage though of never having it any other way.  He did realize quickly yesterday that this break was his left arm which means he does not get out of homework-this kid is really showing his smarts! 
He goes back to Orthopedic clinc on Friday for more Xrays to make sure the bone has stayed set and then we find out the long term plans.  So that is our most recent excitement.  I am thrilled to join the world of blogging
