I've got a poorly Jasper

Well I've had a couple of months respite from "my" seat in A&E as Jasper has been a bit more careful but it all came crashing down last night.
The kids were at their dads for the evening and I was just about to go to visit a friend when the phone rang.
Jasper had jumped off the side in the bathroom and hurt his arm and shoulder and he was screaming blue bloody murder. They had tried giving him pain meds bt to no effect so I said to pick me up on the way through - it was a job for A&E (Accident and Emergency dept)
We got to the hospital and were seen by a triage nurse straight away and then the doctor. He wanted x rays as he didn't like how Jaspers arm was hanging and we had them done immediately. Straight back to the doc who decided probably no breaks (very swollen so wouldn't say 100% not) but dislocation.
Jasper is home from school today and is very subdued, he is on pain relief and has his arm in a sling. I had to take him to the stupidmarket earlier on and it was so stressful, I was so nervous in case anyone bumped or joggled him but we were fine.
He is such a star, he is still totally independant in spite of not being able to use his left arm at all and absolutely won't let me help him - not even to go to the loo! LOL
You can see when it really hurts because his eyes fill with tears and he grits his teeth but not a single word of complaint crosses his lips. As a matter of fact he has spent the last hour drawing and colouring a picture for "Auntie Val" who is running in a 10K race in London on Sunday to raise money for OUCH UK.
I wish more than anything he wasn't hurting.. but I'm so proud of him too!

Give him a gentle hug from the Goat ok! 
He is a good kid and will be a good man some day! Hope he gets better soon.

Jasper sure sounds like he's got Mom's stubborn streak.  .
It's good to know he's ok, but for a bit of wear and tear. Little ones at his age are fearless..(until they manage to damage some part of their annatomy). He'll heal up, and then he'll be back to mischief..and giving Mum heart attacks again.
Give that little guy a (gentle) hug from Auntie Redd

It is the single most difficult thing about being a parent - that we can't take away their pain. Hang in there, Helen. He's a kid, and he'll heal a lot faster than we ever do. And give Jasper a gentle, carefully placed hug from me. Tell him I can't wait to meet him.

Helen, I cannot wait to meet this adult in a childs body.
I even found some temporary tattoos at a "head shop" to give him so he can look like Jonny.

You are an amazing little man, Mr Jabs. It's OK to let Mummy help, though. I want you to feel better very soon, so I can give you a BIG hug. For now, have Mum give you a very gentle one from me. Let my froggie friend do all your jumping for now, OK?
And Mum... have you looked into the bubble wrap suit yet? So sorry you had to go through that. Sometimes I wonder how we survive our children's childhoods!
big hugs to you, too, nani

Sorry Jasper took a beating but he's in good hands. That silly old mom knows hope to cope too.
Kids never cease to amaze. Hope there is no need for pills like yesterday.

In spite of being in pain and having his arm in a sling Jasper managed to get into an unholy mess this evening. I'm quite impressed at how clean his sling is, I think we need to blowtorch him though! 
He insisted on having his drink in the picture oh and Nani - he loves his fwog!

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Jasper - you remind me of my youngest daughter when she was your age - she was just an accident looking for a place to happen.
Look before you leap, little one.

AWWWWWW, what a brave young man. Helen, one more gentle hug from me. He must get well soon so that when the real hug comes, it won't have to be so gentle. Hurry and get well, Jasper.

Aw rats.
Hate to see Jasper so sore.
He'll heal in time. I'm confident.
Can't wait to meet him.
