Ah yes.

That was a very fast turn around.

Yes it was and has surprised me very much. If he wasn't any better this morning his a$$ was going to Children's. The cradling him and laying down slowly was yesterday. Yes this morning at 5am when I went to put the hot pack on his neck he did cry that is hurt when I lifted him up to tape it to his back. When he woke up this morning at about 830, did is normal thing. He is still favoring his right side, won't turn his head completely to the right.


Just for you K_Jo I fixed it.....

What's a craddle?

That sounds like Jr. simply has a "crick" in his neck. That happens to meall the time from falling asleep in the Lay-Z-Boy watching TV at night.

Hot compresses and a heating pad should fix him right up.

If you notice persistent headaches or darting eyes or if he begins experiencing motor function problems; similar to Petit Mal seizures; or if his toes or foot points all the way and he can't straighen it himself; then it's time for a trip to Children's Hospital.

I am still going to keep his appt. with Children's as a precaution. I know of too many kids that have been diagnosed with cancer here lately and don't want to take a chance.

Thank God that that he's feeling better...just stay on top of it, watch him carefully. You know you're kid better than we do...I know you must feel so much better now! Good Luck with everything, I'm praying that that it's nothing more than a sore neck

If he was not in the pain that he was in that is where I was going. Coming home from the hospital had to drive with a lot of caution esp. going around turns. Everyone keeps saying that maybe he just pulled a muscle in his neck, but me being the over protective mother, going to just make sure. Can't put a price tag on a child's life.

and this

I haven't talked to his primary since yesterday morning. He told me to go to the ER, that they would be able to do more for him faster than him. The pain meds aren't really helping. He still has very hard time getting up and laying down. I have to craddle him, lift him up very slowly and when I lay him down, I craddle and lay him down very slowly. He still screams and hollers, "It hurt's mommy, it hurts!"

Sorry I must have misunderstood you. I was going by your post this morning at 7:30 that he was still in pain and that the meds were not working.

That is why I was so persistant on taking him to Chiildrens. Especially considering his previous episode. Who is to say the next one is going to go away???

I still do not see anyone cutting you down, just concerned parents who have been down this road before trying to help. Sorry if it came off that way...

That was before he woke up and I should have more descriptive with the times. It was a very hard day on me yesterday, when your a single parent and have know one else to lean on, a shoulder to cry on, the one that has to make all the decision and wonder if that decision is a good one or are you doing more harm than good, it gets pretty scary at times. I do the best that I can when it comes to my kids

It is unfornate that yes I did have to come to work today, for I am the only one trained to do my job and my supervisor is out today. My dad is home with him taking care of him. Has him in the hot tub as I type.

This is my opinion, I would take him to Children's ER after work. I would not leave Children's until I felt comfortable that I had an explaination for his pain. Neck/head pain scares me. I am assuming you have insurance, this is what you pay for, piece of mind and answers.

I am not calling you a bad mom. You have your instincts and worries as a mother, do no rest until you feel comfortable. Have your Dad stay with your other kid. What if he has an infection and is not showing you a fever? That happens a lot.

Pain is the bodies way of telling you something is wrong. Something is wrong with your child's head and neck. I would not wait to get that child seen. Screw the specialist on Sept. That is too far away!!!

I understand. During my first marriage I might as well been a single parent. Thankfully I married a great man the second time.

Trust me when I say it still is scary even without being a single mom. We all want what is best for our children.

Most everyone in here was only trying to help. Without knowing you or your son or all the details or being there.......the worst possible causes pops into a persons head.


Glad to hear your son is feeling better and it is a good idea to follow through with his appointment if you can. If you can though, keep us informed? This could be a series of warning leading to something bigger if not caught in time.

If I may present a litmus test for you... Single mom or not, we all use it.


When all is said in done in this life you want to be able to say you did your best for your child with the knowledge you had at the time.

Having to look back at your actions and say "I knew I should have done something but," can be a lifetime sentence of regret.


Now, I hope it is nothing but a crick in the neck.

This has gone on how many days? I think you're the one needing a head exam for letting your child suffer like that. ufb, lady.

Attacking? The lady needs to get off the computer and take care of her child. A kick in the azz is what she needs. She's obviously not terrified enough to stop typing and get her child somewhere help is available.

Was there any reason for you to be that rude. I'm sure that she is doing the best that she can. Being a single parent isn't that easy.

Having raised children to adulthood I can safely say I have been there, done that.

Then you should have a little compassion.

I wasn't rude. Read some of her other "sickness" posts, retard

You just proved my point. I guess everyone just can't be the mother of the year like you.

BTW, all of the other "sickness" post I have posted have had very good outcomes.

The only retard the I see are the ones that offer advise but when their advise is not taken they like to criticize.

People that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.....

This is my first post. I had to say something about lymes. My 22 year old was just diagnosed with lymes. She has been complaining about really bad headaches, throwing up, bad pain in her legs where she couldn't walk and now it is in her back. She has days where she hurts so bad she doesn't move. We never found a tick on her and there was never a bulls eye rash. They did so many tests on her the last two months including CT scans. They did a lymes test last because we never found a tick. I was shocked to here she has it. She is now on IV treatments at home. She has a tube in her arm and hooks up her meds to it a half hour a day.

I just wanted to say something about it because I would mention getting tested for that. I wish I did because maybe my daughter would not be hurting as bad as she is now. Good luck with your son.
