"saluto Samuel salveo" part 2!!

What is it with my kids!!

1st there was Sophie with this and then late this afternoon, the girls run in almost hysterical "Quick! quick! Samuel! Samuel's hurt!"  knowing they'd been on the trampoline my stomach dropped, went out to discover him sprawled across the trampoline quietly sobbing! Now, this boy is not known for being quiet! if he is hurt you know about it, heck 3 streets over knows about it!!, so you might guess i was a little concerned... I was looking for weirdly angled arms and feet but he tells me it's his back!! eeeek, there goes that stomach again. so after carefully surveying the situation and being relieved to know he could move his feet and legs, i carefully dragged him to the edge and helped him up. All the time my mind racing at what the heck i was supposed to do!! This boy weighs close to 50 kilos!! I was gunna have a hard time carrying him!! He managed to get off and i helped him hobble inside where he lay down on the couch. Thinking to myself, i really REALLY didn't want to have to go to the hospital with 5 hungry children on a Saturday night!!! I called a chiropractor (it was 5:08pm, i know this for a fact!) the first place i called went to message bank, but the 2nd guy i called, phew, picked up. turns out he is transitioning between offices at the moment, so was working from his car, woohoo!, turns out he was only 5 minutes away. double woohoo!! :D

 so after an examination (apparently, the boy has strong reflexes) a bit of a twisty crunch this way another crunchy twist that way, he was declared "better". turns out he sprained his facet joint via an overextension

So he was strapped (with tape ;p ) and banned from the trampoline for a month and no homeschool teamsports or rough housing with his sisters (or anyone else for that matter,) for 2 weeks , and expected full recovery in 4-6 weeks.

He's complaining the tape is uncomfortable and tight
LOL, it would be a lot more uncomfortable without it mate!!

So thank you Seb from Biotune Chiropractic especially lovely that he is coming to me for Samuel's follow up, rather then me having to drag 5 children to a dr's surgery :) AND this 'housecall' only cost me $50!! AWESOME!!

Well, I did say last time i would be back with the next blood or excitement...i just didn't expect it so soon :)
