Thread: Bad Afternoon last Friday

Seth, they basically put him to sleep but he was some what conscience. They called it Twilight stage. You are unaware of what's going on and won't remember any of it. They say you don't think to breath so the give you oxygen and do the breathing for you. There were some other reasons too but I don't remember all of them now.

Nothing worse than seeing your kids hurting, we wish it was us!

Rich

Very true Rich!

Best wishes. He'll be up and about before you know it.

I used to get that way too, usually with the help of Dr. Jack Daniels! Hope he's doing ok, recovering from broken bones at that age the six weeks seems like 6 years!!!!

I hear that Dave! Haha Colt is doing pretty well now. We haven't had to give him any of the prescribed meds the last few days. We took him in last week for a check up and his bones were still aligned. Under 5 weeks now.

Yikes, I'm sorry to hear this. I hope the healing goes quick and well. At least he'll have a good story to tell at school this year!

Yep, luckily he's only in pre school. He won't be going back until after spring break I'm guessing.

Ooooh, ouchy! He's young and healthy; a year from now, he won't even know it was broken. Dad's memories, on the other hand, well, they're there for life. Wishing you both well.

Hard to see this stuff as a dad. Hoping for a full recovery!....and hot rod toys to keep him happy.

Broke my collarbone when I was 12 standing up on the sled. Sled stopped but I didn't. Tell son good luck.

Colt got his last cast off last Thursday March 29th. The X rays showed the bones healed nicely so the doctors decided he no longer needed a cast. hey said see you in 6 weeks. Ok, cool, thanks. We've been trying like crazy to get him to walk. Her is so freaked out and traumatized from seeing his ankle dangling/flopping, he is afraid to put weight on it. we've tried everything. I am still trying to understand why they don't offer kids physical therapy for situations like this.

We did get a walker from my mom and we have gotten Colt to attempt to stand up and put weight on it. He is "walking" with the walker. He will not put weight on it though. I took him outside and his little ass will peddle the wheels right off a pedal tractor. You can get him to push your hand with his leg when you're playing around. But in no way does he want to put weight on that leg. Hopefully we can get him coxed into walking the next couple of days.

Poor little guy has had quite the time of it I'd say.
I'm sure after a bit more time he won't be so pre-occupied and it'll just happen, then he'll realize what's happening! LOL..

Mike, probably. He just has to figure out that it is ok and then he'll be over it.

YEP, and then you'll be wishing he'd just sit still for awhile!! 8-)
