Ouch Mommy...It REALLY hurts!!!

Ok I think I might have failed as a mom this morning. My 5 year old woke me up and said his leg hurt "so bad" that he couldn't walk. Being the stellar "dr. MOM" that I am...I said get up here and I will rub your leg a minute. I figured it was a charlie horse. He said thanks and I sent him on his way. But an hour later (when I was out of bed) he said it was still hurting, and he could barely limp around. UGH!

Upon further examination (actually LOOKING at the leg) I found that his whole knee was swollen. Opps! So I called the doctor and they had him RUSH in so I could WAIT 20 minutes in the waiting room...YOU KNOW THE "WAITING ROOM...MINIMUM WAIT POLICY" don't want to break any rules LOL. He was examined (why I DON'T KNOW...they really should send swollen legs to XRAY 1st)...then I was sent to X-Ray and they wrapped him in an ACE bandage incase it wasn't broken and needed one. The X-Ray showed no break. Thank heaven...this is a kid that NEVER slows down...A cast would have been impossible. But they think he bruised it badly. All in the fun morning routine of a MOMMY! If you have boys you understand this routine completely as it occurs several times a year ;)

#346 Reason I see the hand of Heavenly Father in my life...Our bones miraculously heal...you may have a different opinion...but I am grateful HE made us perfectly, even down to the healing part.

Make it a great day! Only YOU can!
