Back To the Emergency Room We Go....

By -
Little Joshie (now 18 months) has injured his collar bone. Ok, that's putting it lightly, he actually broke it in half, it split right through. They were all dancing in the den on Friday evening and all of a sudden he just slipped. It caught me by surprise because he's fallen down before and hurt himself, gets up and thinks nothing of it. He's fallen off the bed and just brushes that off too. So I was shocked when this happened because it looked like he just slipped in his socks and landed on the floor. I looked at him for a minute (I didn't want to startle him with a crazy reaction) and then he just started to bawl. I picked him up, calmed him down, held him in my arms and he fell asleep. I thought everything was ok but when he woke up I could see that he was in a little discomfort. I watched him for the rest of the night, kept checking his arm, it just looked like he bruised it and it was sore. That night I gave him some medicine for pain and we went to bed.


The next morning he wasn't in pain but you could tell that something was wrong. Little Joshie loves to play with his ball and even though he was playing he would not throw with his right hand or move it to much. So we decided to take him to the emergency room. Sure enough the Doctor took one look at his shoulder and said he thinks it's a broken collar bone. D. and I were shocked. This little man is only 18 months, the first one of our kids to have a broken anything.

They took a couple of x-rays and confirmed it, they said the only thing we could do is wait for it to heal on it's on which would take about 3-4 weeks. 3-4 weeks?? Tell that to a rambunctious 18 month old...LOL. Oh how I wish we lived in a cushioned house!
Joshie's doing fine, really, he hardly notices there's anything wrong until we try to get him to wear the sling they gave us. He's not hearing it, uh uh! I'm so grateful it's not anymore serious than it was.

This is, however, not the first time we had to take Little Joshie to the emergency room, oh boy~

Counting my blessing, everyday!

We had to take little j. to the Doctor this morning because last night he didn't sleep good and neither did we. He kept crying and crying and wouldn't stop. We were completely thrown because he had such a good day. Could it be: 1. He's teething and it's bothering him? Yes, but a little baby Orajel and infants Tylenol should have done the trick. It didn't. 2. I ate something that didn't agree with him? Of course we couldn't come up with anything. 3. He was just so tired from everything we did yesterday and it was hard for him to fall asleep? Maybe. 4. He got bit by a bug and we didn't know? We checked all over, no bites. We even checked to see if there was a piece of hair wrapped around his little fingers and toes. None! 5. Because he's teething he could have an ear infection? Yes very possible but he didn't show the usual signs: fever, pulling at his ears (that looked like it was out of the norm for him because it's something he does often...

Inspired To Write...

The other day a friend of mine asked me, where have you been? She then proceeded to say, it's like you fell off the face of the earth. I laughed and said, "no, I've actually fallen onto the face of the earth". Girl, thanks for that little laugh, I appreciated the moment :) I've fallen onto the face of the earth and bumped right into my family, friends (old and new), business partners, business meetings, social gatherings, moms meetings, and so many activities for the kids, life has been busy. My natural journey has opened so many doors, talk about beautiful women. Sistah's who have inspired me to keep going and stay focused on the end result rather than the transitioning stage. These days I mostly wear my hair in a ponytail-bun. I don't have time to get all fancy, but when I can I'll do a two-strand twist style and use my latest product discovery, Oyin Handmade . They are very reasonable and the products smell so good. If it's one thing I...
