Falling
Think you're a bad mother? Well, you can't beat this one! My boy has been complaining to me for a MONTH now about how his "body turns off" and it makes him fall. He told me it feels like his "bones disappear"
If you knew Noa like I do, you'd know that he likes to tell stories. So I ignored it. After he told me a few times, I got a little worried, so I told the doctor. Noa also went to the school nurse after it happened once and he felt like he hurt his arm when he fell. Doc and I both agreed he must be making it up. Even the teachers have said they've never seen him fall.
Last night I was doing the dishes and heard a thump. Out of the corner of my eye I saw him fall. Hubby saw the whole thing. I continued with the dishes (yeah, go ahead, tell me what a bad mother I am!) because I was still convinced he was doing it for attention. Hubby was very concerned, said that Noa looked dazed and confused after falling. Noa was upset, asked me why I didn't believe him. Maybe because I didn't WANT to believe him! If he's telling the truth, something is WRONG with him.
Doc said he needed to come in today and we went. He is going to get blood work, an MRI, and a Neuro consult (on Oahu, same Neurologist as Elijah!) I cried on the way to the doc, because I felt so horrible. This one time, just this one time, I think it's best if Noa really was lying. Don't let it be ANYTHING. ¶ 1:21 PM

You're not a bad mother (I'm sure you know that!). I ignore my boys all the time when they are screaming bloody murder. And of course, the one time out of a hundred they're actually hurt, I feel bad. That's when it's time for yet another telling of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf."
Thanks for your kind words on my blog. I had to turn off comments for a while because of all the UNkind words others were leaving.

I know you feel awful but it's hard to filter out the truth from the fibs and the hurt screams from the having fun screams, isn't it?
I'm saying a prayer for Noa. Hopefully it's nothing. I remember when I was a little kid my knees would go out on me for no reason. It's just like a puppy growing into and getting used to his body.
Keep us updated. {HUG}

Jana--Thank you for YOUR support. Sorry about that whole homeschooling debacle. You shoulda left comments and just let them hang themselves in their stupidity and snobbery. Anyone who reads that would side with you, I do!
Tee--I do believe that was my first blog hug *smile* Thanks a lot. And for the prayer too : )
