At approximately 9:35am it was recorded on an incident Report" that I jumped off a playground structure also know as a waverunner that is approximately 2.5 feet high and landed on bark mulch. My Mommy was called @30 minutes after this happened.
Noone called an ambulance!The incident report reads that "hugs and kisses" were administered to me as proper medical care as well as ice being applied. My Mommy called my Daddy moments after receiving the call from my Daycare Center. They told my Mommy I was calm cool and collected. The man at my daycare center explained to my Mommy that I hurt himself but I was okay and calm.
My Daddy arrived @10:45 am and found me sitting upright on one of the teacher's lasp with my leg dangling off a daycare center worker . My leg was ridiculously swollen and discolored and yet my leg was not stabilized, no ambulance was called and there was not one single emergency procedure followed to make sure my son that I was okay. I was pretty far from from "okay". The daycare center man failed to tell my Mommy that I was shaking, swollen, white as a ghost and crying uncontrollably while again dangling off some woman's lap.
At @11:00 after having the "incident Report" shoved in my Daddy's face, My Daddy picked me up and carried me out the door. They tried not to let my Daddy leave until he signed the incident report that he was told he had to sign. I was crying, scared , in pain and very swollen.

My Daddy had no other choice but to put me in my car seat. Luckily we only had to travel a mile down the road to my pediatrician. My Daddy had no way of stabilizing while transporting me safely to the closest place he could think of . He was so worried about me. so He took me down the street to the pediatrician. My doctor had me taken by ambulance within 15 minutes to the hospital. I arrived at at the Hospital at close to 12:00 noon where I saw my Mommy who was hysterically crying.
The emergency room doctor's had finally started an IV and given mepain medication by around 12:30. At best case scenario it had been 3 hours since I had "jumped" and then finally got any professional medical attention that at the very least eased his pain. My pain could not be managed by the morphine alone and so Catamine was administered to calm me down down to the point where it would be possible to splint my leg.

A splint was then put on my leg to hold his bone in place temporarily. I was given multiple pain medications and then finally an ambulance came from Umass Memorial in Worcester to take me there. My injury was too traumatic for the local hospital to manage. My daycare center provided hugs and kisses, never called an ambulance and now I'm being rushed to the best hospital for my serious injury.
The small hospital knew that this matter was beyond the scope of their expertise. My Daddy followed the ambulance and my Mommy rode with me in the ambulance. Iwas very well handled when he got to Umass in Wocester. Unfortunately, the orthopedic doctor who came into the ER after seeing the Xrays saw that my leg was not splinted properly at the smaller local hospital. The doctor at the big hospital said to my Mommy and Daddy,"" It's amazing what type of care you get at other facilities and we run into this problem all the time."
Therefor the doctor had to reset my leg after first taking the splint off. It really hurt when they had to reset my leg.
I was medicated but reacted strongly by squeezing my Daddy's hand as hard as I could when my bone was repositioned and my leg was re-splinted. I remained in the hospital Tuesday evening under constant supervision and excellent pediatric care in the ER.
My Mommy stayed with him over night and he was awakened repeatedly by intense muscle spasms which then needed to be addressed with both morphine and valium. Even my Mommy's hugs and kisses were not enough to keep me asleep after my long day.
I can't wait to watch some more cartoons later and then go to sleep with my best friend Ellie the elephant. tomorrow I'll tell you what happened next!
