When Alysa broke her arm, she would NOT stop crying for anything - I just knew it was more. When your kid doesn't get over like they usually do, it's something. And he has a sprain - that's not nothing. :)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05483670069777019727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38727197.post-27209276896680743072008-11-07T17:22:00.000-05:002008-11-07T17:22:00.000-05:00Glad Eli is ok.

As my husband told me, "Even if their arm is chopped off, you say [to the kid] calmly, 'comeon, pick up your arm, let's go to see dr. susie.'" Totally calm. It works every time.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11027443290806051087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38727197.post-35525354428275962222008-11-07T16:29:00.000-05:002008-11-07T16:29:00.000-05:00You seem to have some bad luck with nurses and doc...You seem to have some bad luck with nurses and doctors not believing you! <BR/><BR/>Glad Eli is ok - you had me scared as I was reading!<BR/><BR/>Egg nog is out in grocery stores now - we got a jug last night and some brandy -- want me to pour you some?Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170704307873703753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38727197.post-2496170036502031192008-11-07T16:22:00.000-05:002008-11-07T16:22:00.000-05:00Oh yes, and I'm so glad your little guy is fine! ...Oh yes, and I'm so glad your little guy is fine!

She ran into him and knocked him over. He would not walk on his right leg for the rest of the afternoon. We took him to the doctor. He told us to go to get his leg x-rayed if he was still limping in the morning. In the morning: Keith started limping on THE OTHER LEG. Ended up getting BOTH legs x-rayed. No breaks. Nothing wrong. He was basically fine after a couple of days--started walking on it more, but he limped for close to THREE WEEKS. My hubs is the one who panicked and kept taking him to the doctor's. Keith finally just stopped limping one day.... We kept saying, "He's too young to be faking it!" It WAS nerve-wracking for a while there when I would let my guard down and start thinking "Does he have a spinal injury? Maybe it's his sciatica?" I did think then that maybe he was just too scared to try to walk right. I kinda laugh about it now, 'cause despite his young age, he really seemed to be playing (at least my husband!) for a while there!CAQuincyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11821192974215349171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38727197.post-49431066181825803622008-11-07T15:59:00.000-05:002008-11-07T15:59:00.000-05:00I'm so glad that he's fine.

Fun, I say! ha. ha. <BR/><BR/>Seriously, though, glad everyone's doing fine (or at least better). :)Becky @ BoysRuleMyLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11078001998434425784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38727197.post-83901630558455735832008-11-07T14:26:00.000-05:002008-11-07T14:26:00.000-05:00These kids know how to scare us, don't they?

She couldn't move her fingers or hand, it was dinner-time, my kids had friends over, my husband wasn't home, and my pediatrician's office told me to go to the emergency room. <BR/><BR/>An hour later, we reach the emergency room. After we wait awhile, a nurse came out and saw how my daughter couldn't move her fingers and was ready to send us to x-ray. A doctor came out to let us know what to expect, he asked my daughter to move her fingers, and guess what she did? <BR/><BR/>Be prepared for some great adventures.
