Hi,
I was 32 years old when I first had broken arm. It was the first time I broke any bone in my body. Mindal, our Ninja infant, had broken arm. She’s only a year and 9 months…
I think she is the smallest infant I have ever seen with gypsum. Which rise the question (as one elderly woman asked me today) – how do you know she has broken her arm?
She fell off our coffee table on Friday night and we run to ER and were sent to x-ray the shoulder, although she held are hand that was swallowed.
Tuesday morning, after she haven’t slept another night and an hour of spotless crying which only a pain reveler manage to lower down – we run to ER again.
This time, they have checked the right place – and figure out Mindal has a broken arm. They promised us it will be checked. It is after all a child hospital (Schneider Children’s Medical Center of Israel), and if a kid gets out with an untreated broken arm from it…
The question the elderly woman asked me, and the looks of the people on the street and above all – your own feeling you have not dome enough. I must say it does make you feel a bad parent.
Mindal, on the other hand does not feel so bad about the gypsum. Even when it meant she cannot enjoy the activity she love most on her kindergarten – diving in the sandbox. There is a reason why my parents call her Sparta girl. We have been with her 4 times in the hospital in the last month and an half (twice for the arm, once she fell in the stairs, and Rabies)
Take Care
