Hey What a GREAT Saturday I am having today!! Hubby was called out for work early this morning and wont be home until late tonight...OK... I can handle that...dont like it but... we have learned to live with it... I had just put a roast into the BBQ tonight... And then... Lewis fell off the swing...No big deal... he falls off there all the time... after 5 mins he is still crying and holding his arm... OMG I think... Lets go to the hospital... After 2 hours in the ED, an Xray and lots of painkillers... We are home with a heavily bandaged Complete Radial Fracture  YUP... He broke his arm.... Only splinted and heavily bandaged at the moment to allow for swelling over the next 24 hours.... have to go back first thing Monday morning and have it put in plaster.... Biggest problem is going to be keeping the bandages on in the meantime... he keeps pulling at them and asking me to get it off.... Oh the Joys of being a Mum... And like I really need this at Christmas!!! Laugh... or I might cry.... |

Tammy,
So sorry to hear about Lewis's arm...here's praying he heals quickly. Sounds like you need a "Calgon, take me away" moment. And things like that always happen around the Holidays...like you need more stress!
But kids seem to really take injuries like that in stride...once he gets his cast on he'll be back to his old self. And they have some really neat casts...all colors..some are even patterned,etc. By the way, which arm did he break? Hopefully its not the one he uses to eat, etc. Keep us posted. Dolly

OMG~poor Lewis (and poor mom!) I hope the arm heals quickly and that he gets used to it being wrapped up and stops pulling at it.

Yikes... My poor little boy! Tammy it sounds like you could use a few jello shots with your "Calgon, take me away" moment!
Hope Lewis heals quickly and that sanity soon returns Down Under!!
Hugs and prayers to you,
Cathy

UPDATE.... Lewis went back to the hospital this morning for a Re-check on his arm... We have been back there twice since he did it on Saturday, to RE-Bandage the arm... Today was the Big day.... He is now in a full Cast from just above the elbow all the way down to his fingers... Poor kid... Although... he seems to be coping very well with it all...doesnt seem to bother him at all to be honest... He is still as active and naughty as ever....just one handed  All weekend though, everytime he remembered it, he would come and ask me to "Kiss it Better"... Must have kissed it a hundred times now...and it aint getting better for him He has to have the cast on for 6 weeks!!! There goes our Summer swimming and camping!! |
