"Jack" fell down and broke his arm...

On 23 July, AX fell on the toy school bus that was on the floor. He was trying to get the Gameboy of his younger brother and most likely, he lost his balance and fell on the floor. Unfortunately, he landed on the toy school bus. I found him there crying and cringing in pain. He was pointing that his left arm was bothering him. He had a little fever at around 5:00 AM the next day. I did not hesitate to have him medically attended because he has a bulge between the lower part of his upper arm and the elbow. He could not stretch out his left arm at all. He was in pain. The whole day of Friday was spent at the doctor's office. It was mostly a long time of waiting to be attended in the walk-in emergency clinic and then the orthopedic's office.

The orthopedist decided to have his left arm be put in a cast. At first, the medical attendant was feeling like AX was being hardheaded. Eventually, I told her that he has autism. Next thing I know, she related that her girlfriend's son has autism as well and they participated in the Walk for Autism.

We are slated to have his cast be removed on 17 Aug and that means, we have to wait again.

Some sad news of late:

An Italian child with cerebral palsy and his grandmother died in hyperbaric chamber explosion. Please see link below:
