My little haymaker hit one below the belt knocking Ryan clean off his feet whacking his head in to the ropes aka the book shelf.
It wasn't a long cut. Just had some depth to it. After describing it to the nurse she had me come in. They glued it shut. also glued his hair to his head. still stuck today.
I'm pretty sure that next time I'll just stay home and apply the super glue myself. Save everyone the time.
WHILE we were there..getting his head glued up....I mentioned in passing that he still had this limp thing. I had mentioned it the year before and we decided to just keep our eye on it. Imagine my surprise that a year later....still there. (I promise I'm much more attentive that I'm making myself sound in this post)
Thing with his limp is....it's not always noticeable.
Our ped thought by my description that it sounded like a hip issue. So in we went for x-rays.
Nothing.
That night we asked him about his leg and asked him what hurt (which we've done several times) and he pointed to his foot.
We went in and had x-rays done on his foot.
Nothing.

| He did great considering that he's my most hesitant child. |
She sent us in to have his blood drawn. She was checking for inflammation markers that would rule in or out rheumatoid arthritis....which was such an ugly outcome that I almost didn't have his blood tested. but I did, and..
Normal.

| Why I love this picture. Because he's in it. and then because Ryan got to choose his prize out of the prize box and the color of bandage for his arm. The nurse first offered green or blue but then re phrased and offered whatever color. He picked the pink with purple hearts. :) And I love that nurse for letting him choose. |
So now we head to see an orthopedist. Middle of March.
We have no idea why he limps. I'm certain it's because he's a twin. and if not it's because of his donor. :)
Which rules out my eating watchamacalits my entire pregnancy or kneeling on him whildst trying to change his diapers as a mobile infant/toddler. No wait. it was Nate that I had to pin down. So yip. it's his donor.
The GREAT news is. While waiting to x-ray his foot they noticed a slight fever and so I mentioned that he said his ear hurt an hour earlier. She looked and badda bing....ear infection.
Now TELL ME ! When are you SO SO lucky, that you are ALREADY IN the doctors office when you need a doctor for something. I mean, beside the reason you are already there.
NEAT right.
We left with pictures of his perfect little foot and a prescription for antibiotics for his ear.
Now I'd like not to find anything. but at the same time, I'd sure like to know why he limps sometimes. I mean, besides his donor. I kept trying to convince the doctor he did it to be a cool punk yo yo daddy. Maybe, just maybe...that'll be the case.

He was sitting in my lap and let me sing a song with him. (mind you we were not singing to the wii...but upstairs in a chair to our own tune) I chose Mr. Postman by the Carpenters. After only a sentence he pulled the mic away from my mouth. I ever so gently pulled it back and continued. He pulled it away again...with more force this time....so I once again carefully placed my hands over his and pulled it back to my lips. He flipped the switch on the side and said, "mama, it's off now. don't sing. it's off !"
When I didn't listen and only sang louder, he pulled it away and stood up.
I showed him by flippin the old stand by microthumb out and finished my song.
Nate thought that singing into your thumb was cool and happily joined in. Ryan walked a few feet away.....flipped it back to the on position and finished his song. his way :)
LOVE THAT KID !
