I just wanted to share our recent accident with our SWCAH son.  He is two, and he and his dad were playing around in the living room--being boys of course.  Anyway, my 2-year-old fell on the carpet and broke his arm.  I believe we handled it well; we didnt freak out or anythign.  My husband was convinced that he was going to be ok, but my mother’s intution told me something was wrong.  I wondered if we should give him the injection, but we opted to just go on to the ER.  There they looked at me like I was crazy because he was soundly sleeping once we arrived; however, once he awakened they saw why I came.  He had a hair line fracture near his elbow.  They gave him the injection at my insistence, so I now know I will just give it at home.  He has a full cast, and he will have to wear it for up to 6 weeks.  He is handling it fine, thank goodness.  Also, we upped his meds for two days on the advice of our endo.  I also gave him a triple dose before we headed to ER just to be safe. 

Just thought I would share this with all of you because I remember when he was a baby how I worried how things like this would affect him.  We survived, and it wasn’t a big deal.
