Boys will be boys

Posted in Children

So this last Saturday my husband and son went to our nephews to help clean up their yard/house area. They just moved in a couple months ago and it needed some work done. So a bunch of the family was helping out. Anyway CJ was helping a lot over there, mainly wanting to drive the 4-wheeler to haul stuff.....LOL. But when neices parents got their with her 2 younger siblings then CJ was playing with them. Neices brother is 8 so he and CJ get along pretty well, but CJ said they were playing tackle football without the football....LMBO.

 

Anyway yesterday CJ was complaining about his knee, and I'm like oh geez. Because he so tends to try and milk things, or over dramatizes pain. Finally I was tired of hearing about it and looked at his knee, and sure enough it was swollen slitghtly. So he either sprained his knee or twisted in while they were tackling each other. So this time he actually had something legitimate to complain about, he can't fully extend it so he hobbles around. And that was intereting since today we had to grocery shop and I had to wait for him. But it all got done and he still helped unload the Blazer. He's now watching his Indiana Jones movie he checked out from the library yesterday, resting his knee.

 

Hopfully it feels better by the weekend because he goes to work with his father every other weekend and helps, so getting in and out of the tractor to open and close gates would be a pain if it still hurts like it does now.

Remember RICE. Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevate. Ice wrapped in a thin towel so it's not directly on the skin about 15-20 minutes at a time a few times a day for the next day or so. Also, Motrin/ibuprofen would be good too if you have some handy and he can take it. He should be good as new in no time. :)

I obviously didn't remember it. Its not swollen now, at least not when I checked last. And he has rested, yesterday didn't go outside and play, just sat around. Today he's outside playing b4 we head out to an appt. I'll have to give him more ibuprofin I have given it to him to help.

About Me

Everyday ramblings about my family life, with my husband and son, on the farm. I'm Emily, mom to one son who I'll refer to as CJ. Married for 12 years been together almost 14 years. We live in North Central, Minnesota in the boonies. We are on our 4th year in Homeschooling and its been fun and a great descision. Sometimes my posts will relate to personal issues I'm dealing with while trying to give my son the best education I can. We've tried several things along this short journey of ours and hoping somethings will stay or we'll find things that work better soon.
