Holy Crap!

By Margot | August 18, 2009

Well I was in the middle of a post telling you that Sam was having severe arm pain for the last two nights and that we were talking  with Dr. Maris about whether or not we needed to regular MIBG starting this Friday.  I don’t need to say we’ve had a sick feeling  and no sleep for two days.  Well  Children’s San Diego just called me and gave me the results of yesterday’s x-ray (Thank you thank you Steve Vanni for suggesting we get it done) and Sam has a broken humerous.  We had a sleep over on Sunday night with Joe and Jake and they were roughhousing and playing tackle football amonst the comforters and the pillows but as I watched them tackling I thought it was too rough and asked them to knock it off but apparently I was too late.   I don’t know why Jayne just got the wet read of the x-ray on her desk at 12;15 today when we were in there at 1:30 yesterday but I could kill myself for not staying for the results  I just assumed it wasn’t broken and wanted to get Sam out of there because he did not want to be there.    Neil said Sam just had the worst plane flight of his life and was in extreme pain even with the pain pills we’ve been giving him.   I knew it wasn’t good when Neil called before they took off and asked if Lortab was the strongest thing we had.   Sam’s  bones are brittle for some reason.  I don’t know if it’s still from the  zometa or something else but poor guy.  He said he felt better yesterday and he even swam and played soccer at the park last night but when he went to bed last night he was in a lot of pain and this morning he was in a lot pain and apparently the whole plane flight was awful.  They are currently taking a cab the emergency room at CHOP and getting it casted.    While we are elated that it’s only a broken arm and not disease pain, it sucks for Sam to have a cast again.  Argh.     

More soon.
