Well My Adrenalin Is Working Fine | Arthritis Information

My sister called and crying. She said that my nephew had fallen off of a rafter at his grandparents farm and was on his way to the hospital. So that is not alot of information. Just enough to freighten one to death.

He is alive and well. Two broken bones in his arm. Near the wrist I believe. So I scooped him up and took him home with me.

He was laying on a the hospital bed and said sorry Mom I am dumping you and going home with her.

Just we think he will fair better away from his siblings as far as his arm healing. His siblings are very worried about him. He talked to everyone on the phone this evening.

His six year old sister wanted to know if I was spoiling him well enough. She insisted that I make him a get well note on a piece of paper. She said that last year she hurt her arm and it stung. She said her friend made her a note and it really helped alot.

So I will make a note for all of you and hope that it brings you all of the same magic that it did for my niece.

Get well soon and feel better!

very sweet of you, milly.

I wish the same for you.. Get well soon!!
I am exhausted! He can not play video games. He can not snap his pants. I literaly lent him a hand to help hold his sandwhich.

Well he can eat chicken nuggets without help. So I guess thats what he can eat at school?

I had to cut him out of his shirt. His pain meds only last for about two hours and then the next two hours are spent asking if it is time for medicine yet. The last thirty minutes are brutal.

My son is here to help if I fall out.

So the kid was not listening to his father. He was told to get down and instead he ran. He said catch me if you can, which his father did try to grab him and get him down.

Well he will be in pain for awhile. So when his arm hurts I remind him he is to listen to his grown ups. I remind him that it is our job to keep him safe and he needs to listen to us. I tell him I wish I could turn the time back to before he fell but I can not.

As far as his arm I told him to treat it gentle like it is a baby kitten. He said a baby kitten that is biting you all of the time.

So my little tike is a bit on the ADHD side. Not as bad as my oldest son was. We lived in Georgia and my son was a hundred feet up in a Georgia pine tree once. Well he said it was often but I only had the pleasure of coaxing him down once.

I could never get my son insurance because I took him to get profesional help at a young age. The insurance company always said he was at a greater risk of breaking an arm. Some how he managed to survive childhood without great injury. Of course he did terrorize me and the rest of the niegborhood with outragious stunts.

My son was kicked off of a few school buses because he wore on the bus drivers last nerve. Even in behavioral classes with more teachers and less students he was not aloud in school without medication. If his script was empty and the shrink was on vacation my son stayed home.

So now we have my nephew. This year his teacher is all about independence. She will not remind the second graders to get thier homework out of thier backpacks. She says they are old enough to remember.

His last two teachers would tell him to get back on task when his mind would wander. This year his teacher could care less. His grades are dropping fast. So I do not know if some compasion will come from his teacher to assist him with a broken arm.

Anyway seriously to main stream a child with ADHD and the only two things he needs from this woman is to say you need to get back on task or did you do your homework?

I am also as good at being stricked as I am at spoiling. My children were completely oposite of each other. My youngest was nearly perfect in behavior and could sit down on one task for hours on end without getting board.

Some of my kiddos think I am mean because I expect them to respect adults and do as they are told without back talk. Yet the truth of the matter is some kids need more attention and more reminding then others do.

LOL I am so used to scolding my twenty month old niece and chasing her around the house telling her no that I do it to the older kids. I have completely scared some of the older ones off. Yet the baby is so used to it she just gives me a hug. I believe that being stricked with the baby is one of the greatest gifts that I can give her. Her Mom says I am her best friend because I take the time to explain everything to her.

So now my son is grown trying to tell another child that yes he understands the climbing but it is a bad idea. Give me strength to go through all of this again.

milly2010-10-16 23:54:54 This morning he sat on my sofa with me for three hours. We played heads or tails with a dime. He said his entire body was sore. He fell about eleven feet so I expected he would be sore today. His little hand is very swollen.

The good news is today his Mom asked him if he had learned a lesson from this? He said yes, next time my Dad tells me to get down I am going to get down.

Well at least that makes us feel better. It is scary having a fearless child. In gymnastics class this kid has been doing double back flips on the trampoline scince he was five.

Seriously for me he listens pretty well most of the time. He gets excited and runs with out looking where he is going sometimes. For him having a day to spend alone with me is the bomb. The last time he came by himself without brothers and sisters he was in the basement when his Mom told him he was having a special day. He bruised his legs running up the stairs. Then when he got here he came running to greet me and tripped and landed on his chest.

Once I get him calmed down he does fine the rest of the time. He does his homework very quickly without struggeling. He just forgets to turn it in. He has even been known to do his older brothers homework.

So he asked me last night why is he the only one that is always falling all of the time and getting the wind knocked out of him? I said because you need to stop and think and look around before you run.
