Like our Beck and her recent visit to Hospital with Bradman, I have been feeling like a bad mother...
Bad mothering #846
Precious 2 and half year old son was jumping off the couch (like he often does... Helloooo.... he is 2 and a half!!!) anyway, i was cooking tea and I didn't see the actual incident, but a scream like no other was soon heard and my little man was hurt. He tried to get up to walk to me but he couldn't put any weight on one foot.
He was screaming, sweating - Must have REALLY hurt. His little foot was swelling and starting to go a little blue. Finally got him to settle down and rang the hospital (we are 55 km from after hours A & E)... They advised to keep him home as xray wasn't there and reassess in the morning.
The poor little man woke during the night crying "my foot.. my foot" a few doses of Nurofen seemed to calm him down.
Anyway in the morning he was able to put a little bit of weight on it, so I didn't take him in to Horsham. But as the day got longer he started using walls to support him and sitting a lot. So yesterday morning I headed over and it turns out he has broken a little bone in his right foot, but there isn't much they can do!!!
So my little man has been VERY grumpy with lack of sleep and I feel like a bad mother for
A: letting it happen
B: not taking him to Dr's earlier...
hmmm
hmmm
More VERY EXCITING NEWS!!!

Poor little Hugh. Dont beat yourself up - if I thought my couch was strong enough I'd probably be still jumping up and down on it. I'm sure he'll mend quickly.
Don't blame yourself you twit! Kids will do what kids will do, and accidents happen all the time. You could not have prevented it! Griffin is ALWAYS jumping on the furniture... hope your wee man's foot comes right soon.
Poor sausage!!!
I feel your pain. Logically we know we arent to blame, but the maternal instinct has an inbuilt guilt trip.
Thought of you yersterday as I drove to Mildura. :)
