I received a call a couple hours later saying that he was still crying and complaining about his arm. I drove to school to pick him up before J could get there. I talked to his teacher and she said that for the first time this school year he took a nap. Not just a short 15 minute cat nap, but a good 2 hour nap. She thought it was unusual for him but what she thought what was even more alarming was that he didn't want to go outside and play with his classmates. I agreed this was odd and decided to take Zach to the hospital. I called J and told him what happened and he met me at Kaiser.
We got there at 3:00PM. J met us in urgent care. From the second we arrived and sat in the waiting room, he tried to keep Zach away from me. He grabbed Zach from my lap and put him on his. The entire time he carried Zach around. Not once did he put Zach down. We didn't get into urgent care until 4:30PM. We waited for about 50 more minutes before the doctor came in. She checked out his arm and shoulder and ordered an x-ray. We walked up to x-ray where J still carried Zach and kept him out of my reach. We waited another 30 minutes. After that we were sent back to urgent care and waited another 45 minutes before a doctor came in and asked me when was the last time Zach ate. I knew right then and there something was seriously wrong. He told me that he broke his humerus and that he might need surgery to fix it. When I heard this I felt absolutely horrible. I should have gone with my first instinct cause I felt something was really wrong. Whenever it comes to things for Zach I ALWAYS trust my mother instinct because it is ALWAYS right. I was pretty upset with myself over this.
Not only did I feel horrible about this, but Zach was starving and I could not feed him or give him anything to drink just incase surgery was needed. Poor baby was crying and so upset since he was so hungry. He asked me to come and lay down with him to make him feel better. We laid there for another 30 minutes. Finally the doctor came in and said he didn't need surgery but they will be putting him in a splint. Zach was happy to hear this cause it meant he could eat, I was happy because I was afraid of surgery. Again J kept Zach away from me by carrying him out of the room to the cast room where the splint was put on.It angers me when J does this crap. Seriously? Are you that much of a control freak that you have to go to such extremes to keep Zach away from his mom? Grow up and grow a pair buddy. Your harming your son more than you know.
I am completely exhausted. We arrived home from DC last night around 10PM, woke up around 6AM for school, and have been up since. Sleep, a comfortable sleep sounds so good right now. I'm glad that my boy is okay. He was so strong during the entire visit. He always amazes me at how totally awesome he is.
