Getting to know Lillebror

A Lillebror with many faces :-)

The other day both boys slept for two hours, at the same time! Life is easy sometimes!! Other days Lillebror is awake for several hours during the nights... life is less easy those days...

Marlee is a very caring Storebror. He lets us know when Lillebror is sad and he reminds us that he might be hungry :-)

First bath. Marlee is a good helper!

And a bath for Storebror, too!

- Good morning, Lillebror!

Brother love!

Friday we all spent the evening in the ER. Marlee's arm was hurting. During the day Alex and I were swinging Marlee between us holding his arms and after that he kept complaining that it was hurting. We first thought that he might only be looking for attention and we "played along". We put a band aid on the arm hoping that it would "help". When he even complained while napping we realized that it was hurting for real and we called the doctor. Alex did some research on google and we realized that it might be the elbow that was out of place, a so-called Nursemaid elbow. We got that confirmed when arriving to thr ER. (They have a few of these cases every day and it is due to the elbow not being fully developed before the child is 4-5 years old.)  First they tried to get the arm back in place by bending the arm but it did not work. Then they wanted to make an x-ray and while taking different x-rays Marlee had to bend the arm in different angels again and when we left the room he was super smiley and kept shouting "Inte ont" (no pain). So the arm was fixed! Marlee was very exited about not having pain anymore :-D The day after he was playing "hospital" in the garden.



We put Marlee's arm in a home made sling
so that he did not have to hold it
with his other arm.
