First Broken Bone

Filed Under: Family, Parenting Tagged With: dustyn

Wednesday May 10th Dustyn had a soccer game. He and I were outside practicing when he tripped over the ball and fell. He was very upset saying that his arm was hurt so bad. He can be a little dramatic sometimes, so I told him to get up brush it off we have a game to get to. He sat out the first quarter of the game but then played the last three quarters.

He told me it was bothering him but he thought it was just sprained. He went on and went to school on Thursday. At recess one of his classmates decided to knock him down and Dustyn went to the nurses office because it hurt even worse. I called for an appointment to see his doctor that day but they were booked and could see him first thing in the morning.

In the meantime Carsyn’s school called because he was sick, and was just keeping his head on the tray. I went to pick him up and we started an afternoon full of breathing treatments, but his breathing got really bad in the middle of the night so Kenny took him to the ER and they transferred him up to CHKD. He improved enough that they sent him home. That all happened on his birthday. Poor guy!

So Friday morning I drove up to pick up Kenny and Carsyn, dropped them and Prestyn off at home. Took Dustyn to his appointment where the doctor said he was almost positive it was broke. We were sent over for an X-ray and sure enough it was. I felt TERRIBLE that I let him go so long with a broken arm. They casted his arm right there in the office.

He has 3 more weeks and then it will be removed. Right before Summer break.

It stinks because he couldn’t play the rest of the soccer season but he has been practicing non-stop and showed up for the last couple games of the season to cheer on his teammates.

I am thankful everything seems to be calming down now. We are all feeling better and Dustyn is getting used to his cast. Though I have to say it already stinks terribly!!!

21|365 Trying on glasses. She loved these ones. He 21|365 Trying on glasses. She loved these ones. Hers should arrive in a week or two. 

We saw a third eye doctor. We are going to try glasses for two months and also try to prevent her from closing or covering her left eye. Along with having her focus on something brought to her nose throughout the day. Then recheck. She did mention alternate patching. Even though they see it in both eyes it is more prominent in her left eye. If neither one is helping then we will do surgery.

20|365 Annelyn did amazing at the allergist today. 20|365 Annelyn did amazing at the allergist today. I felt so bad when they were poking her back. I shared a photo in my stories of her back. They tested for dairy, eggs, green beans and pork. She previously had a reaction to green beans and bacon so they wanted to check that. The dairy and egg still had a reaction, but the doctor feels it is small enough that we can start trying eggs and dairy in small portions. Her egg reaction is a little less than dairy so we are going to try that first. 

I let her pick out a toy and she picked this baby yoda.

14|365 Sweet girl. Little update we are going for 14|365 Sweet girl. Little update we are going for a 3rd opinion next week at an office that offers vision therapy. I am going to see if they think therapy and/or glasses would help. I’m hoping that it will be an option since she is able to control it when we get her to focus. We will see. 

Thanks for all the advice and sharing your experiences. I know every child and diagnosis is different but it is nice to hear what others have done.
