Big Kid vs Small Kid

When one obese kid 63kg in Standard 6 accidentally ran over a 9kg toddler and this small kid was flung onto the hard tarmac and landed on his left abdomen which in turn caused his mid rift left clavicle bone cracked fracture!


That happened to Aidan on last 5th April 2009. My poor boy kept on crying until he felt asleep and that night his movement was limited. Since we did not see any bruises, we treated it as hemmmm " sakit badan sebab jatuh" . After 3 days, we saw a swollen collar bone and for that past 5 days (since the fall), he has been whiny but quite tolerable on our side and we brushed it off and assumed that he was on recovering journey. Little did we know that his clavicle bone is at the tip of broken :( until my mak summoned me on Friday morning right after I settled myself in the office. Ohh man..panic I was, I remember I was puffing and huffing, driving like a mad woman to mak's house, pickup Aidan and straight to DSH. Saw his paed, took his X ray, again saw his paed and he sent us to Orthopedic Surgeon and Trauma Surgeon huhuhu..We were told that the swollen was due to the new bone forming on top of the current one. Since he's young, his new bone will completely reformed in 3 weeks. Therefore, no rough playing in the meantime. Syukur sesangat!


This boy of mine is now recuperating and his next appointment is this Saturday. By the look of it, he is recovering well.





Lesson learnt : kalau anak dah nangis bawak sajalah pergi hospital, no need to wait and see, wait and see :P. That's the difference between 1st anak and 2nd anak, aye?
