Broken Legs & Broken Hearts

Saturday I took Boston to a trampoline park with some of the cousins like I posted about. She hurt her leg that day and it just wasn't getting better. After a long night again for both of us on Sunday I woke up to her foot and leg even more swollen than it was the night before and I decided that I needed to get her into her Dr. pronto. Primary Care Pediatrics is amazing to us and always so kind to my baby. We took the soonest appointment we could get into, they looked at her leg then sent us to get an x-ray. 

Boston didn't mind the X-ray... she got a lot of stickers and suckers after.

The x-ray lab sent us back to her Dr. who confirmed it was a broken tibia... Which they said is a common place for little ones to break bones at and they have seen a lot of these injuries from various jump parks like that. After that we got sent over to the Orthopedic's office where he put the cast on for her. It was really amazing because my longtime friend, Amber, was working there and she consoled mom so I could be tough for Boston. She wanted black or brown for her cast color I wanted pink or yellow (I got some slack last year for letting her be Jack, The Pumpkin King, a boy character, for Halloween) so we compromised with purple.

It was a long day and honestly I am embarrassed that I had to hide my tears from her. I just feel like I somehow should have been able to stop her from getting hurt. I hate not being in control. The worst thing in the world is seeing your child hurt and in pain. I hate that I feel like somehow I could have stopped a trampoline accident and I didn't. Broken legs and broken hearts are healing at our home.

Another thing I hate is getting help. I have this attitude that I can do it all on my own and I will show you. But, seriously, this has been kicking moms butt, too. It hasn't even been a whole year since I had my own back surgery and carrying around a 35 pound child everywhere hurts... Like, to the bathroom, bed, her room, the couch... I really took for granted her walking. I hate complaining because it is Boston's leg that got hurt and not mine... So, for the first time, I am really swallowing my pride and those of

You that have messaged me asking if they could help at all... The answer is YES! Please and thank you so much.

All of your nice messages and comments have meant so much and I know Boston and I can feel the positive vibes from them. Last week was a tough one and it carried on to this Monday a little bit. So, when I say thank you for the kindest messages sent to be I truly mean it. Strangers who didn't even know me knew the situation reached out and my heart was so full.

 Besides the un-comfortableness of the cast she is living the life ice cream and treats and toys her grandma, grandpa, two aunts, two uncles, big cousins and my friends have brought her. She thinks it's not too bad.

Uncle Rob took her out to dinner and she loved it!
