They sent Caden home in this sling and told us in the ER on Friday that we could keep it. Thank you! I'm SURE we will need it again so we'll keep it in good storage. Thank heavens for the pamidronate IV drip he gets at Shriner's Hospital every four months. I tell ya, he just likes to push the limits and be a regular boy. The latest trip on Friday was for a hurt shoulder. He was pushed down while playing FOOTBALL! He is at the new school and the play ground teachers realized as soon as he was hurt that HE is the boy they can't let play these contact sports on the playground. Luckily the x-rays showed no break or crack. We sent a big note to school this morning from the doctor that states, "NO CONTACT SPORTS ALLOWED". I imagine the teachers will be more careful watching him, at least for a week or so.
This follows that last two visits to the ER we had in the last 6 weeks. The first was when he decided to jump off of Robert's top bunk and landed ribs first on the wooden footboard of his bed. No broken bones. I was sure a rib or two would be shattered like the glass his bones are like. Then about 3 weeks ago he knocked a picture off the wall and crawled up on his dresser to put it back up and did a front flip off the dresser! Thankfully no broken bones then either.
I know how you felt trying to keep him safe. He just acts without thinking through the danger. He goes again 9/24 for his next round of pamidronate and by golly, we gotta have that stuff!
