Can my son still walk?

My son’s cast was removed last Tuesday and for some medical reason, which I don’t know about, it was swelling. I thought it was going to be fine since the doctor said that he can now walk. When we got home, I urged him to walk but he can’t, he won’t. He said that his ankle hurts. We were confused there since his fracture is just below the knee. We let it pass for a while and tried again the next day still to no avail. No matter what we do, what we say to him, he still can’t and won’t walk. I was getting nervous at the same time angry since I can’t force him. He’s just a four year old kid! So my husband and I decided to bring him to a Physical Therapist. It’s a bit expensive going to a therapist but if it concerns your son, you will never mind how much it costs, even if it is a million.

The first session was scheduled on Friday so I was a bit calm already, knowing that he will now be in expert hands. My confidence vanished when the therapist asked if the orthopedic surgeon said if my son can walk. She’s supposed to know that, doesn’t she? There was a referral from the doctor and she didn’t even dare called him. I was getting mad, nervous, sad, disappointed all at the same time. I don’t know if my son is in expert hands. She said that there would be a possibility that my son’s left leg would shrink if the veins would curl and that he will be walking with a limp from then on. I didn’t want that to happen. No mother ever wants to. That made me nervous. She didn’t give me any assurance and just said that she would do her best and try to prevent that from happening. But what if it’s too late? Whoa!!! I don’t want him to walk with a limp! I have big dreams for him!

I never had an experience with fractures before so I really don’t have any idea if this is normal at all. Just don’t tell me to relax. I know I will never be able to relax until I see my son walking properly. I have to look at the brighter side and hope and pray that the sessions next week will have positive results and that my son will be able to walk again and without a limp!

Music Mondays I: Reach Out

I've been wanting to join this meme when I have decided to post some music last January but for some reason I just keep on postponing it. Finally, here I am now a participant of Music Mondays.

When I first saw this video, I was shocked when I found out that the artist is Hilary Duff. It's just that I was so used seeing her the goody goody one in her movies and she was so young by that time. I just didn't realize she has grown up now. In fact she has gotten herself sexier and hotter too!



Reach Out
Hilary Duff

From the minute that you walked
right through the door
Thoughts are racing in my
mind, time to explore
I tell my friends that I just gotta have him
Don't look now, cause I see
you staring at him

Tunnel vision had him locked on in my sight
On a mission, for position by
the end of the night
It’s like a prey, playin'
games with the hunter
You better run boy, time to surrender

And all I need is to feel you
All I want is to feel you

[CHORUS:]
Reach out and touch me
Before I go insane
Reach out and touch me
Boy don't you make me wait
I'm a diamond and you're so on the money
Reach out and touch me
And all I need is to feel you
Reach out and touch me

Like a prayer, your touch can take me there
In my mind, you and me in a secret affair
Oh boy you’re killing me and
you don’t even know it
Try to hold back but I can’t control it

So, I’m steppin’ to
[ Find more Lyrics on www.mp3lyrics.org/ewxF ]
ya’, skip the ”How ya doin'?”
Grab your hand and pull you closer to me yeah
Out the door we're slippin’,
then we start to kissing
Boy you’re invited to my fan-ta-ta-sy

And all I need is to feel you
All I want is to feel you

[CHORUS:]
Reach out and touch me
Before I go insane
Reach out and touch me
Boy don't you make me wait
I'm a diamond and you're so on the money
Reach out and touch me

All I want is to feel you
Reach out and touch me

Baby can't you see how you're affecting me
Baby sensual, physical, fantasy
Maybe, fate brought the two of closer now
Don't you wanna? Don't you wanna?
Don't you wanna? Don't you wanna?
Reach out and touch me

[CHORUS:]
Reach out and touch me
Before I go insane
Reach out and touch me
Boy don't you make me wait
I'm a diamond and you're so on the money
Reach out and touch me
Reach out and touch me

Reach out and touch me
Before I go insane
Reach out and touch me
Boy don't you make me wait
I'm a diamond and you're so on the money
Reach out and touch me

And all I need is to feel you
Reach out and touch me

5 Don'ts When You are Sleeping

DON'T SLEEP WITH WATCH

Watches can emit a certain level of radioactivity. Though small, but if you wear your watch to bed for a long time, it might have adverse effects on your health.

DON'T SLEEP WITH PHONE
Putting the phone beside your bed or anywhere near you is not encouraged. Though some of us will use phones as alarm clocks, but please put the phone as far as possible. Scientists have proved that electrical items including mobile phone and television sets emit magnetic waves when used. These waves can cause disruptions to our nervous system. Therefore if you need to put your mobile phone near you, switch it off first.

DON'T SLEEP WITH MAKE UP
People who sleep with make up might have skin problems in the long run.
Sleeping with make up will cause the skin to have difficulty in breathing
and problem in perspiring. You will also need a much longer time to go
into deep sleep.

DON'T SLEEP WITH BRA
Scientists in America have discovered those that wear bras for more than
12 hours have a higher risk of getting breast cancer. So go to bed without
it.

DON'T SLEEP WITH OTHERS' HUSBAND / WIFE
You may never wake up again.

Pink Fridays II: Daughter's Room

This is my daughter's very pink room. I just took this pic last night and my original plan was to take a pic of the room itself. But my daughter asked me to take a pic of her since she was playing with her lollipop, pretending it was a lipstick. Well, I'm glad my daughter asked me to since the room now looks more alive with her on it.

IE won't display my Entrecard Widget!

It made me wonder why a few Entrecard droppers can't seem to find my Entrecard widget when I have place it at a very good spot, at the right sidebar under Featured Blogs. So I did a little experiment. I tried opening my blog with different browsers. I am using Mozilla Firefox so I don't have a problem with it. I tried Google Chrome, Opera and Internet Explorer. It works just fine with Chrome and Opera but with Internet Explorer there seems to be a problem. True as it is, my Entrecard widget was not displayed. I don't know what is the particular reason about this but I tried to look at the widget's code in case I can do something to tweak it. But there's nothing I can do. As of the moment, I still can't figure out why Internet Explorer won't display the widget. Only the widget is not displayed so I'm a little bit confused here. May I just suggest then, if you don't mind, to use Mozilla Firefox since it is way much better than Internet Explorer. ;)

Top Droppers for January

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all my Entrecard Droppers for the month of January. You all deserve a space on my sidebar for being so conscientious. My hugs and kisses to all of you. Hope to see you again next month.

I know this post is rather late, but I still have a problem with the images. As what you have noticed on my December Top Droppers, there's a big space that I wasn't able to remove. That same problem is what I've been trying to remedy in this post. That is the reason why it took me long to post this, but still I cannot do anything about it. Maybe next month I will succeed. For the moment, let's just settle with this. *wink*. As for the side bar, give me a few days as I'm still working on it.

Hoping to win this time!

I should have posted this last week but for some reasons, I wasn't able to. Anyways, better late than never.

I just recently joined a contest of Mira of Random Thoughts. She is celebrating her one year of great blogging. In my whole life, I have never won at contests, lottos, sweepstakes, raffles and even slot machines at casinos. That is the main reason why I seldom joined things like that. I am just never lucky. I was hesitant at first to join the contest but the prize that is $120 cash and 75,000 EC credits was just too tempting. Not to mention that 12 bloggers will have the chance to win. I decided to join as I’ve got nothing to loose. Just a few minutes of doing the mechanics and I’m done. I’m crossing my fingers on this one. Who knows I might get lucky this time.
