Looks pretty fun, actually.. I wonder if there's anything like that available to rent for a little guy (I know, he's not LITTLE... :)<br /><br />btw, I really miss you! been thinking about you bunches lately, but running around like a crazy person, trying to act like I know how to manage life with four kids, and we both know.. I don't. I was barely hanging on when I had three.. anyway, that's my excuse for never seeing, calling, writing you. but you know.. the love is there my friend.Kristiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894299979157964593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4982495311070974364.post-1466442492479319012011-06-02T08:45:44.004-07:002011-06-02T08:45:44.004-07:00I asked my husband, after our son broke his arm, h...I asked my husband, after our son broke his arm, how often parents come in DAYS after the break instead of immediately. He is an ER doctor and said MOST people wait. It takes a while to realize there is a problem.<br /><br />Anyway, broken bones in summer stink. It's even worse when it's a foot! Good luck finding entertainment for the little guy.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349403417525132723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4982495311070974364.post-44514690721459024782011-06-01T15:43:57.452-07:002011-06-01T15:43:57.452-07:00Poor, Poor Guy- Ouch!Poor, Poor Guy- Ouch!Pasion Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12296793809477344102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4982495311070974364.post-34210058783018958912011-06-01T14:44:50.418-07:002011-06-01T14:44:50.418-07:00I wouldn't be too hard on yourself.

He just didn't really complain about it unlike my other son who cried like there was no tomorrow. Hopefully, he won't miss all the activities of summer.likeschocolatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01733431135937009206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4982495311070974364.post-33988782618560318392011-06-01T13:45:18.835-07:002011-06-01T13:45:18.835-07:00Same thing happened to my brother.

Then he hobbled around it for a week before my mom took him to the doctor (so three days is nothing.) Then he sawed his cast off a week early at scout camp so he could swim.<br /><br />But we didn't have to carry him around. He was in 8th grade.<br /><br />So sorry. For you and your sore hips!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936900354153453823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4982495311070974364.post-26188470173577990872011-06-01T08:59:51.204-07:002011-06-01T08:59:51.204-07:00My son broke all the bones in his foot when he was...My son broke all the bones in his foot when he was seven. The doctor said he could heal in 4-6 weeks IF he didn't walk on it at all. We started out carrying, but a kid with a cast gets pretty heavy after a while. Then we tried crutches, but he couldn't figure them out. So my husband found a place in Seatac on international that rents medical equipment, and they actually had kid-sized wheelchairs. It might be something you want to look into, just so you can go out and do things. It gets old after a while. <br />Until then, you do a lot of waiting on him, hand and foot ;)<br />Good luck,<br />M.S.Carrot Jellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627476718171567049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4982495311070974364.post-45457850249147181412011-05-31T23:56:18.982-07:002011-05-31T23:56:18.982-07:00I don't mean to be a downer but I had those ex...I don't mean to be a downer but I had those exact same words running through my head the day Ella passed away. Why didn't I go to the hospital sooner? Why, why, why? The reason is simple: because I hoped it was going to be ok.<br />don't blame yourself for hoping. <br />You're the greatest mommy ever!<br />because you love that little boy more than life itself!<br /><br />I wish I had advice on how to keep him entertained. Maybe a star wars quiet book?Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857711562597839692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4982495311070974364.post-79784273937471891632011-05-31T22:04:14.223-07:002011-05-31T22:04:14.223-07:00Oh boy.
