I lived in NE Ohio for a few years, so Denise and I were talking about the Browns (her team) and the Steelers (my team).
jaycns said:Hi guys...I have had a not so great day here...as always, it could have been worse...but poor Aladdin...he is NOT a happy camper. He will not be able to participate in the National Finals that his soccer team qualified for in a few weeksHe is heart broken. Instead my darling little man will be in a cast for the next 5 to 6 weeks...no soccer to him is a horrible form of torture and that long for a ten year old seems like forever...I keep telling him that it's way better to take care of a problem now then hurt yourself in the long term...but tell that to a kid who was so excited...poor little guy. He has (at best) massive tearing of his cartalage in his heal and of the growth plates (which requires the cast). At worst it might require surgery and he is going in for an MRI next week to see about that. POOR BABY!!
This is NOT his day.
Before Aladdin found this out from the orthopedic surgeon we spent the morning at the allergist...he has to be off of his antihistimines even longer (he has been without them for 3 days now and is miserable and itching to the high heavens) and then he have one of those prick tests on his back to see what he is reacting so horribly too...that is on Monday.
So as of right now, the poor little guy is just so sad. I don't think I have ever seen him so down
So in a nutshell he is itching and disappointed and sad and worried (about the prick test which won't be a big deal once it is done but seems huge when you are a kid and thinking of someone coming at you with twelve foot long needles and pinchers...
the look of terror seems to indicate that is what he sees when they say "small prick").
Sorry for just jumping in with such a "poor me" post...but ya'll are good listeners and I needed to tell somebody.
. Poor Aladdin. I can see how he is heartbroken and sad. Kids don't yet have the ability to put things into perspective which makes it worse. I'm sure you'll find some way to cheer his little heart. Give him a hug from me.....and here's one for you, too.

hiwaygal said:I have family in Brunswick, Columbia Station, Ravenna, and Aurora...I think that's it!
Me either. Does that helpmomrek06 said:OKAY Denise...now I feel like an idiot because I have never heard of any of those towns.
I think I may get him a ton of the Pirates of the Caribbean Lego sets that he has been asking for...Santa may have to pony up and let mom and dad bring these early this year....he needs something he can do while sitting and it should NOT be thinking about the fact that he is sitting...momrek06 said:Ahhhh...JAY...
What are you going to do to get him to smile again...I know a trip back to the WORLD?
momrek06 said:Naa...it was mostly little things for stockings.
DS usually has stuff overflowing his stocking because I keep picking up little things here and there. 
THANKS!!!!!! That may really help! It's more what he thinks is going to happen then what will happen. He had the test when he was 2 but he does not remember it...so it's like the first time all over again and it didn't really bug him then...but the thought of it has him creeped out...that and everything is a major bummer today after hearing about the cast. But he will be fine. What doesn't kill ya makes you stronger!Disney4Drew said:Jay....let Aladdin know that my 3 year old DS had the prick test, too. He did great with it besides the initial trepidation of not knowing what was going on.
