Our mini-vacation weekend hit two major snags! Christie took Adam to the doctor today. He was showing all the signs of an ear infection, without a fever. He wasn't eating, very irritable, tugging on his ear, etc. It turned out to be Tonsillitis! No wonder he's been growling so much lately. The doc says that's actually a way to help massage the throat. He has a viral form, so it's a "wait 'til it goes away" form. Oh, and it's contagious too. Great, what fun!
While Adam and Christie were at the doctors, I took Matthew to the Polaris Fashion Place (our mall) to play in the play area. While he playing, he walked backwards a couple steps into the path of a running child about his same size. Matthew fell to the ground, but landed on his arm funny. He didn't cry at first. But as he started to get up, he screamed in pain! At first, I thought it was just a delayed reaction. No biggie, we sat together for a while, I comforted him. He eventually calmed down, we walked over and got a drink of water at the water fountain. He wanted to go play some more. But the second he put pressure on his arm, he screamed again.. this time, louder! OK, that's not good. We went home, put some ice on it, but Christie knew the second she saw it. It was broken.
The rest is history. We went to urgent care. An x-ray confirmed it. So, once again, Matthew is in a full arm cast. All this from a simple fall at the play area at the mall.
So, who knows if we'll make it to the family reunion this weekend in Marblehead. UGH! Our dumb-luck strikes again!
