Cruise ship from Hell

My dear friend Amber from Blockbuster (in Phoenix) was on that cruise ship…her room was the floor above the engine room! Anywho, she’s safe and sound. She was on CNN this morning, here’s the video link:

Jackson….

So i took Jackson on my day off to his 2 doc appts. The first one was the Orthopedic surgeon. He looked over his X-rays he got at Reading Hospital and didnt notice any break or fracture. The doc looked at his foot and leg and noticed that his right ankle and foot were a lot more tender and swollen then his left. He just explained that nothing seems to be broken, just sprained and swollen. Thts the good news! Jackson goes back next Wednesday for a follow up X-ray and then on Friday to see the doc again. Jackson has been starting to walk again and can pull himself up too. So he’s making progress in that sense…i cant wait until he starts walking again!

The second appt was his 18 month check up! Long story short, no vaccines today and he is 33 inches tall and weighs 24 lbs! Yay! He’s getting so big…its scary…

Updates

Soooo, Jackson had an accident last Wednesday. Were at the play ground and he was going down the BIG slide and the third time his foot got “stuck” on the slide and twisted then bent backwards. He was in excruciating pain, wouldnt stop crying and wouldnt/couldnt stand or anything. We called the doc at 6pm and they wanted to look at him. Alicia took him to the doc, then they went to Reading Hospital for X-rays on his foot/leg. They said that his tibia was badly sprained and bruised but they couldnt tell if it was fractured because it was so swollen.

Long story short, its been 4 days or so and he’s gotten better but he still can pull himself up to stand, he’s just finally taking steps, a small amount but he mostly crawls around the floor. WE took him to the doc again tonight and they are going to schedule an appt with an orthopedic surgeon because he may have what they call a “toddler fracture”? Not sure what that is but…so we’ll see what becomes of the ortho doc appt.

Alicia got “promoted”! She works as a Logistics Coordinator now…big step up. She oversees incoming and outgoing orders from around the world! She’s really happy and today was her first day.

I think thats all i have time for now…gotta go put Jackson to bed soon
