The First Broken Bone...

can you guess who is who??? James is a mini-Kelly, don't you think????

Here's our beloved Miss Sonia and James...

I am sad to say that my sweet baby James--my last born--is my first child to break a bone. We visited his doctor today after had been VERY cranky yesterday afternoon and would cry when I would pick him up. Today his left shoulder looked really swollen and deformed and the x-ray confirmed why. He officially broke his left collar bone. You can see that it looks quite impressive and I had a good cry right there in the x-ray room with the technicians. I just felt so awful that he had been feeling so awful! I could hear it clicking when I would pick him up and he would wince...my poor sweet baby!! He should be better in 4-6 weeks and I hope he'll start to feel better soon. I will update more later... cheers!

Happy October!

Today...

I'm okay, I'm akay, I'm a "K?"

just a quick update--went to the er tonight because i nearly passed out at dinner and was having pain under my ribs on my left side (and in my shoulder every time i inhaled)...long story short, they pronounced me with pleurisy (inflamation of the lung lining...) and sent me home. not real clear why i almost blacked out, but all my lab tests were normal, as was my ekg and x-ray. i did have a doozie of a migraine last night and all day today, which finally let up right before all this began tonight. a little frustrating to hear the doc's diagnosis and wonder if that was really it...i just want to feel normal!!!!! my spleen was enlarged when they did my ultrasound of my gall-bladder (they scan your whole abdomen) so tonight i was worried that perhaps something wasn't right with my spleen--but the folks at the er said everything was fine there, so who knows...the pain was right where my spleen is, but then that's also where my lungs are too. i do believe at this point that it's just cheaper for me to go to medical school than to continue on the path i've been on...going to call the mental health counselor this week...cheers
