The day after

We had a great Christmas. The boys got just about everything they wanted, and Arina got to experience Christmas for the first time.
Santa brought Arina a jumper, to practice her standing skills. She loves it!


She loved ripping wrapping paper off presents!



Tanner got his drums he wanted. Yes, the autistic child got the noisiest gift!

But it wasn't his favorite. Out of everything, the Big Time Rush CD made him totally freak out. He told me he wants to go to Hollywood. He thinks if he goes there, he'll just see them on the street. Because mom, that's where they live!


Arina was again the hit of the day. She was passed around to all her cousins.


The cutest was she had a little playmate. A cousins little girl, she is 10 months old. They were enthralled with each other.

And Italie helped Arina practice her standing skills!


Now to the bummer part of Christmas. I hate it when there's a bummer part.
On Christmas eve, at my moms house, I noticed that Jax was acting strange. Every time I would touch his right leg, he would jump and wince. When we left, he freaked when I put him in his car seat, and screamed the whole way home. I decided to take him to the ER. I took Mondo with me to help, and daddy stayed home to get the little ones to bed. We were there until 3:00 in the morning! They were soo slow. I figured it was his hip. I have been told Jax is especially prone because he bears no weight on his legs. They x-rayed his whole leg and pelvis. Then we waited some more. He came in and told me he had a buckle fracture in his femur!
Seriously!
I freaked out. How does a child that can't even sit up, fracture his femur? The doc told me his bone density is not like a normal person, and he could have done it rolling around, or getting him out of his car seat. They splinted his leg, and I have to take him in to the ortho on Wednesday. I read his x-ray report when I got home, because I can look at all of Jax medical records online. It said under the diagnosis, "severe osteoporosis", and "buckle fracture of distal femur". How the hell does a five year old have severe osteoporosis? This really upsets me. It makes me want to grab God by the shoulders and shake him, look him in the eyes and ask... how is this fair? How is it fair to give one child EVERYTHING? I don't want to hear that everyone has a plan. Just don't want to hear it anymore. Sorry, this really gets a person worn down after 5 years. Why does this child have to spend his life in pain?
You can say what you want, if your comment is nasty, I'll just click the delete button. Walk a mile in my shoes first. Walk a mile in Jax shoes, before you judge.
I called the ER yesterday, because even with the splint, he is in obvious pain. He just doesn't understand. So every time he moves, he winces. They wrote for something stronger than tylenol, and my baby spent his Christmas in pain.


He slept late, because we didn't even get him in bed until around 3:30. I don't want to move him around much, but we did open a few presents.


Changing his diaper, and getting him dressed, is no fun at all. He hates his car seat, it causes pain, so he screams the whole time. Its utter hell.
Sorry for the bummer Christmas post, welcome to Jax life!
