Poor Baby. When they can’t tell you where it hurts it can be so hard. And pain radiates. I’m so glad you advocate so well! Good for you. When I taught I always told parents to advocate for services or adaptations for their kids. Every child needs a hero in their corner.
This is why doctors need to listen to mom's and mom's need to listen to their gut instincts, mom's know their kids better than anyone. Freya is such a wee trooper, that smile is priceless and thank God she has you as her mom Marci. I wish you all a happy, healthy and joyous Christmas.
Marci, you need to send a letter to the Orthopedic Emergency Center to praise that PA who was so caring and took time to think outside of the box to X-ray her other shoulder. If you could “bottle” Freya’s smile you would make a fortune😂. I know she always makes me smile!
OMG, Marci, what a medical mess! So so thankful that you are the voice of reason and finally found a doctor to listen to you. Freya seems so much happier now that her elbow is supported.
So grateful that Freya didn’t have to have surgery, poor baby. It might be useful to someone else in the future if you call the first doctors office and the radiologist that read the X-ray and educate them on what happened, the panic you went through and what the diagnosis ended up being, which was what you told him about to begin with. I definitely understand your frustration with finding good doctors!!
Yes, indeed, you have to advocate for yourself and your children. I say this so often! Im disabled and it is tough sometimes getting Drs to listen! You're such a good mom, Marci! Im so glad Freya is feeling better 💜
Despite the unfortunate circumstance that our sweet Freya has a broken elbow, what an asset to know about her shoulder anatomy for future knowledge! Hopefully will avoid possible misinterpretations later! It gave an opportunity to check something that doesn’t ordinarily get checked! Feel better soon Freya! ❤️❤️
I’m so sorry Freya fell and broke her elbow, Mums know best sometimes. You were there for her, thank goodness, this is a prime example of how much being an advocate for your child is paramount, disabled children more so. If I hurt my eyes and finish up at the hospital, similar situation, oh how are my eyes different or, how come this or that. Instead of dealing with the pain or taking that strong light away from my eyes that’s adding more pain. Not a very good analogy but non the less it shows how them not listening causes its own issues. How right you were to voice for her. I hope that Freya gets well soon, with time and support from her lovely family I’m sure that she will show you when her lucky arm is better. Stay safe.
You are such an amazing mom as reflected in all of your incredible children. So many people just rely on what their doctors say as though a doctor couldn’t possibly be wrong. Thank goodness that you found that great physicians asst and you are such an advocate for your child as we should all be. Love Freya’s precious smile and giggle and she seems mighty proud of that cast. Wishing you and all of your beautiful family a blessed Christmas.
Way to advocate for Freya. They do this with all kids sometimes. My daughter had kidney stones at age 10. The doctor told her she needed to be quiet. She was screaming in pain. I said to him "why have you not given her something for pain yet. I made him give it to her asap. She was the youngest child they had ever seen with this at the time. She has a pituitary growth in her brain which messed her system up badly.❤❤❤glad you got to the bottom of it.
I remember you saying that at times you feel like your motherly intuition doesn't quite feel as strong as it used to be, but you had that gut feeling on this one...and I hope that helps buoy you! I hope Freya's little elbow heals quickly and well, and that she's feeling better today. Merry Christmas to you and your whole family!
Omg are you kidding me? You were right all along. Imagine being so hung up on the limb difference you miss a whole ass break in her elbow. Way to hold it together! You’re made of tough stuff. Take a deep breath. Thank goodness you are there to advocate for Freya. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so glad that you're obviously an amazing Mom! I'm a medically retired RN and I used to advocate for my patients all the time. I especially had to do so for my Mom and family too. I understand that it's hard to find great Drs sometimes. That's why we have to advocate. Great job Marcy, as always ❤😊
You are a trooper. I'm glad Freyer is getting some relief. I love you can fix things to fit her...amazing. As for advocating, please remember that you know better than the doctors. I think from now on, you should adopt an attitude. You can still be nice. But, go in there and ask that they also check her arm. You knew. They did not, and God Bless the urgent care pediatrician. My daughter fell once from a sidelyer front 4 feet off the ground. She ended up with a broken clavicle, but it took two days to finally get someone to find it. Tracy also cried for 2 days. Merry Christmas to all of you.❣️🦋❣️🙏🐻🎄🥰
Freya you are adorable ❤ & your new found independence is amazing to watch. My heart goes out to Marci your amazing 😊Mum & the rest of your family who obviously love you deeply ❤. So glad you found a professional who would listen, your gut instinct was right. Hoping Freya has a speedy recovery & you all enjoy a peaceful Christmas 🎄🎅🥰 Hoping 2024 brings you all Love, Warmth & Happiness. God bless 😇xx
Morning Dear, you folks are great parents 😊 I understand standing up for our children when they are very sick. Our daughter would of given medicine that wasn't for her when she was in the hospital. She was very sick, was told by one of the specialist that she shouldn't make it. I thank God everyday for His blessings to us. She is 31 today 😊 . She is healthy and takes no meds. Just baffles her Drs. Praying for you and your family. Merry Christmas 🎄
Awe, Freya is such a trooper! Breaks her elbow and she’s still smiling! I‘m so glad she didn’t need surgery! I can tell you that doctors do not only react like that to special needs kids. They‘ll do the same thing if you’re overweight - everything is due to you being overweight. And then why is the waiting room full of fricking skinny people? As soon as your different, you’re put into a drawer. It really sucks. Hope you have great holidays, good food and loads of fun! See you soon!
Oh Marci, how good that you mentioned about her elbow! Doctors are great but sometimes you need to push them a bit further. I'm so glad that Freya is better, I just love her so much, just as she was one of my grandchildren 🥰
Poor Freya. I’m glad you advocated for her and got to the bottom of what was wrong. She does use her lucky arm so much, even with the limb difference. ❤😊
Oh Marci, thank goodness you're an amazing advocate for your sweet baby girl!! So many of us are dismissed by doctors but you didn't stop until you found one who listens. I'm so glad surgery isn't needed. Poor Freya! With little ones, accidents happen. You're an awesome Mama!!!❤
Oh my goodness Marcy! Only a loving, wonderful, experienced mother would have persisted, and that would be you. The best news is Freya's pain is somewhat relieved and her beautiful body can start healing. Merry Christmas to all of you and God Bless.
Poor baby. I know that hurt because I broke my elbow years ago running to catch the train. Too long of a story but I wore a metal brace for 8 weeks. I just feel so bad for her but thankfully you didn't take no for an answer. You are a great Mom!
Wishing Freya a speedy recovery ❤. I used to put my arms out to protect myself when falling as a child with my Cerebral Palsy and I still do as an adult. I would badly bruise the arm mostly but, sometimes needed a splint or cast because my wrist would suffer damage. Glad you managed to avoid surgery Freya ❤.
Right off the bat I was worried about the push for surgery. Marci good on you for following your intuition and getting a second opinion. I too thought it was Freya's elbow, once it was in a sling/cradled next to her you could see her relief at the park. We all need to get comfortable with advocating for those who are dependent on you and yourself. This one was a roller-coaster of emotion just watching I can't imagine how stressful it was for you and Chris. Freya is one tuff chic and good thing she got a soft cast...a hard cast n bath time would've been a rodeo.
Hi! I love your videos . I am a retired ER nurse. I'm not sure if this message will be useful or not. Whenever we sent people home with a sling on,we advised them to wear collared shirts to prevent the strap of the sling from rubbing on the opposite clavicle. I don't know if they make collared shirts in Fraya's size,but maybe with your sewing skills you can make something like this if it becomes a problem for Fraya. Merry Christmas to your family!
Poor baby I'm so Glad she doesn't have to have surgery 😊 👍 but I'm also sorry that she's in pain . She loves to go down the slide she looked so happy 😊 💕❤ thanks for the update I'm glad she's doing better ☺️👍😊❤!!! HAVE A BLESS MERRY CHRISTMAS ⛄🎄🧑🎄🎁🙏🥰👍And A HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉🎊🎆🎇!!!!
No wonder you’re frustrated! I am a nurse, and this should not have happened to you and Freya. So glad the PA listened to you. Hope she feels better soon, so sad for her little arm. She is so special, and you are amazing!! Merry Christmas
And glad she not blaming the school . Iam sure if it was something else she blame the school or school felt bad and no matter what she was right with mother in tution and knew the Drs and specialists was wrong and kept on pushing for answers good for her
I fell on my knees and elbows once. Had a chipped elbow. Radiologist didn't see it. ER doctor saw it and my regular doctor saw it. I was so disappointed in my hospitals radiology dept. Anyhow it hurt like heck. I am sorry for Freya. It has to be so much worse and she still smiles through it. Hope your family has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Hi. Your a wonderful mum and as mums we Do no best. When my eldest was 10yrs she fell badly in a baseball game. Landed on her shoulder A&E exrayed just her wrist and elbow. Didnt listen to my daughter. So we were back nx day and sure enough right at top of her arm bone was a clean break. Couldn't cast it. So slinged it. Every night while asleep she would have her arm above her head. But after 6weeks it healed good. 😊😊😊 hi from us here in UK. FREYA IS AN AMAZING LITTLE GIRL
It's so great to see you advocate for your children. It just shows how great a Mom you are! As a Mom myself, I had always relied on that special instinct! You should be extra proud 👏. You're the best, and your kids are lucky ❤ Merry Christmas and best wishes for a Happy New Year!
I'm so glad you took her in and were smart enough to say something about her elbow to the PA . What a way to spend Christmas with a cast on. At least no surgery. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Love you guys❤❤❤❤
Poor little baby. You are Freya’s mom and no matter what the radiologist felt, you took that on board, but know your child, and are her best advocate. We place our trust in doctors, but sometimes they can be wrong, and sadly sometimes, dismissive. Even if the radiologist was initially hung up on her limb difference, he should of been more careful in his study of her X-rays. It looks like Freya will handle this mishap well, and is such a sweet trooper. ❤
Freya is such a trooper. I'm sorry this happened, but what a blessing to get the right doctor. That little face was so sweet when she was sound asleep in her car seat. Hope your holiday is merry and bright. Sending hugs from Texas 😊
Oh bless you I don’t blame you for stressing your her mom and that’s what we do! It’s the constant ring doctors etc that’s also draining and nobody knows your daughter like you ❤ isn’t it soooo frustrating tho when you know somethings wrong and they are like no no everything is ok. I have multiple sclerosis and I understand completely how draining and frustrating it can be 😢 Awe hun I can understand your tears for her and yourself, tiredness and lack of understanding and getting the right answers and it being so near Xmas too. Big hugs for you 🤗 🥰
Wow that’s a long time it took a year but I kept pushing it and taking myself to Accident & Emergency. Sorry to hear that ik you’ve spoke about your mom I never realised she had ms ❤ I’m from England so our health system is different
I’m 41 now and had it 5 years but I’m doing ok. Suppose everyone’s journey is different. Being disabled is only a journey you can truly understand if you have or know someone with it but I think education is the key especially your vlogs which you do to raise awareness for CDLS and that Freya is as cute as a button ❤
Kudos to your friend at the hospital and the doctor’s resident who saw the crack. I feel for you Marci and for Freya, of course … such a stressful situation! It shows how important it is in getting a second opinion. (Not to mention you were desperate …) So good to see Freya smiling again - she does just roll with it. I wonder if the nursery school would ensure Freya is on those padded floor squares if she is climbing on anything …? Anyway, Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family! (And I hope you get a couple of good nights’ sleep… 😘) ❤️🇨🇦🙏
❤Good Man ma Going on your gut instinct, you hot there Moma should be so proud of yourself for hanging in there and making sure you were heard, being a full time carer you get an instinct for knowing when things are wrong . Aw bug hugs to you All there do stressful, and big hugs to Frayer such a little trouper with her sweet smile little earth Angel she is❤ You're so right about your gut instincts , something our Mum's Dr said to me, to keep relying on my gut instinct because they were the thing I could rely on, always knew with Our Dad and Mum when something wasn't right and always turned out to be true , which with the right individuals listening to that, taking those instincts it on board and being open to those things, it helps so much to get the right care for your loved one. 😊
Absolutely love her altered little sling! Reminds me of when I was in college I needed a wrist splint. The one they gave me was huge! One size does not fit all so my mom got out her sewing machine like you did and fixed it. So glad Freya doesn’t need surgery! She seems happy with her splint and sling so hopefully four weeks will fly by! Happy holidays!
Poor Freya! I’m so proud that she’s taking these bold moves! I’m sorry our little mama has a boo! Feel better sweetheart, and love to you, Marci! That is the cutest sling and I love how you adapted that for her! My sister is a multiple amputee from her condition and sometimes uses a sling on her arm when the sores get really bad! Thank you for this good idea!
Sharing your stories Marci I'm sure you help many cope better with their issues as you give a feeling of support and comfort to many who may badly need it. ❤
I am so sorry! I tell you as parents we have to be so vigilant about our children and especially for her who cannot verbalize her pain!!! Merry Christmas to you band the family!
Hope Freya’s feeling better , and you as well!! So glad she has you to advocate for her! I think at times the docs don’t listen as much to us (and what our instincts are)as they should ! She’s such a sweet little angel. You have some pretty great kiddos and family for sure!! Hope y’all had a great Holiday!!! Great seeing on of your videos again, although frustrating for you I’m sure. At least she don’t have to have surgery!!
Aww, my little friend is hurting 🙁 As a mom I know exactly how you feel Marci. It may not be your arm but it is just something about seeing your child in pain that hurts you to the core. Sending all the family my love and a special hug for my super hero Freya.
Poor Freya. Thankfully she has you to advocate for her! Sometimes we have to insist when our instinct is telling us something. I hope she heals quickly and the pain subsides.🥰
Although it’s sad her elbow is broken at least you know about her shoulder anatomy now which could save time trying to explain in the future if something else ever happens. Little miss daredevil will no doubt try other dangerous feats of bravery. Hopefully she heals quickly and will leave her cast on until it does. Hope you have a peaceful Christmas with everyone feeling better. 🙋🏼♀️
UFFDA (Norwegian for good grief, oh no, oh …) Mothers intuition!!!! Most people in the medical field are great. But some are not. I am disabled and have had situations just like you. PRAISE GOD for showing you where to go!!!! 🎉
I’m so sorry Freya and Marci. Having worked in Medical Records, I know what can be screwed up. You are Marvelous and if I was there, I would give you both a gigantic hug. Prayers for you both. I know as a Mother too, your heart breaks for your child. My Prayers always for you all. I think you have a budding Nurse or Teacher in Jessie. God bless and know I am with you in spirit. Love you, your New Jersey friend💋💗😉💕❤️Merry Christmas all.
I spent many a holiday in the ER with one child or another; not the best thing to have happen, but I always told them it was our special holiday adventure. We had strep throat, a broken foot, mono .. those are just a few. When my son was around 8 years old, he broke his elbow, as well .. he cried all night for a full week straight, the pain was just unbearable. I'm not sure how both of us survived that but somehow you do. Life with my 7 children has sure been a wild ride, and even though they weren't things you might have wanted to happen, they are still memories we made that we still talk about today, even though the kids are all grown with lives and families of their own. One day - when yours are grown up - you will look back and even laugh: How did I go through all of that crazy and still be able to put a complete sentence together?! Somehow, you do. Marci, you're a wonderful Mom and you are such a beautiful family. Wishing you all a blessed Christmas and a New Year of making new memories together. Sending sweet, precious Freya love and hugs 🤗 💜🌲⛄
You did a good job, trusting your gut. And your heart of hearts when you know something is up usually there’s something up. When I was four years old, I did a front somersault over my big sister and broke my arm. And my mom sowed all of my slings for my arm. I was in a cast from my fingers to my shoulder. And I was like that for at least eight weeks.
Oh my goodness. It is so frustrating when doctors won’t listen to parents who know their kids better than anyone else. Poor baby. I’m so sorry she broke her elbow, but so glad she won’t need surgery!
poor lil girl hope it heals fast i know little cracks cause big pain broke my knee cap and they said i could need surgery when it happen but got lucky took 2 months for it to heal and still hurts when it gets cold here

I always get a survey after the appointment I will definitely be singing his praises
So perfect!!

It’s not the first time and won’t be the last. Some doctors have a hard time looking past the rare
The pain from a broken elbow has to be horrible. Thank God for putting that PA in your life . I’m so glad your little one does not need surgery!

So inquisitive and adorable. Freya is such a little doll. I am sure she feels awful. I hope she feels better very soon!
She seems to be doing okay. We are keeping her on ibuprofen.

@@Freyasluckyarm Hi Thank you for your reply.

No wonder you’re frustrated! I am a nurse, and this should not have happened to you and Freya. So glad the PA listened to you. Hope she feels better soon, so sad for her little arm. She is so special, and you are amazing!! Merry Christmas

I am so happy you found a doctor that listened to you and found the problem. I feel bad for Freya but she is so cute.
Merry Christmas to you all.
And the pediatric orthopedic didn’t see it either. No words….I’m glad you went with your gut. I hope you can enjoy your Christmas now. Hugs from Ct.
I don’t think he even looked at the elbow x ray they were all worried about the shoulder
@@Freyasluckyarmthat’s kind of scary. Glad you insisted. Momma knows best!!!

Poor kid, I'm so glad that you were the advocate for her.
I hope you can now enjoy Christmas. Xxx
I'm so glad you took her in and were smart enough to say something about her elbow to the PA . What a way to spend Christmas with a cast on. At least no surgery. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Love you guys❤❤❤❤
Poor little baby. You are Freya’s mom and no matter what the radiologist felt, you took that on board, but know your child, and are her best advocate. We place our trust in doctors, but sometimes they can be wrong, and sadly sometimes, dismissive. Even if the radiologist was initially hung up on her limb difference, he should of been more careful in his study of her X-rays. It looks like Freya will handle this mishap well, and is such a sweet trooper. ❤
Great job! I can relate, my daughter is grown up but is non-verbal. She cannot tell you she is in pain.
Freya is such a trooper. I'm sorry this happened, but what a blessing to get the right doctor. That little face was so sweet when she was sound asleep in her car seat. Hope your holiday is merry and bright. Sending hugs from Texas 😊
Thoughts are with you! I am glad she is better. Get some rest, Marcie!💕
Thank you, I will
Oh bless you I don’t blame you for stressing your her mom and that’s what we do! It’s the constant ring doctors etc that’s also draining and nobody knows your daughter like you ❤ isn’t it soooo frustrating tho when you know somethings wrong and they are like no no everything is ok. I have multiple sclerosis and I understand completely how draining and frustrating it can be 😢
Awe hun I can understand your tears for her and yourself, tiredness and lack of understanding and getting the right answers and it being so near Xmas too. Big hugs for you 🤗 🥰
My mom had MS it took her almost 20 years to get a doctor to diagnose her with it. It ended up being her eye doctor!
Wow that’s a long time it took a year but I kept pushing it and taking myself to Accident & Emergency. Sorry to hear that ik you’ve spoke about your mom I never realised she had ms ❤ I’m from England so our health system is different
Yes they think she had it since she was 18. She was diagnosed when she was 43 I believe. It was a long road.
I’m 41 now and had it 5 years but I’m doing ok. Suppose everyone’s journey is different. Being disabled is only a journey you can truly understand if you have or know someone with it but I think education is the key especially your vlogs which you do to raise awareness for CDLS and that Freya is as cute as a button ❤
❤Happy Holidays, thanks for sharing.
Super family, what a Blessed little somebody Freya is to have you all.
Merry Christmas❣️🎄
Kudos to your friend at the hospital and the doctor’s resident who saw the crack. I feel for you Marci and for Freya, of course … such a stressful situation! It shows how important it is in getting a second opinion. (Not to mention you were desperate …) So good to see Freya smiling again - she does just roll with it. I wonder if the nursery school would ensure Freya is on those padded floor squares if she is climbing on anything …? Anyway, Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family! (And I hope you get a couple of good nights’ sleep… 😘) ❤️🇨🇦🙏
❤Good Man ma Going on your gut instinct, you hot there Moma should be so proud of yourself for hanging in there and making sure you were heard, being a full time carer you get an instinct for knowing when things are wrong .
Aw bug hugs to you All there do stressful, and big hugs to Frayer such a little trouper with her sweet smile little earth Angel she is❤
You're so right about your gut instincts , something our Mum's Dr said to me, to keep relying on my gut instinct because they were the thing I could rely on, always knew with Our Dad and Mum when something wasn't right and always turned out to be true , which with the right individuals listening to that, taking those instincts it on board and being open to those things, it helps so much to get the right care for your loved one. 😊
Never underestimate a mother’s instinct! Moral of the story!
Absolutely love her altered little sling! Reminds me of when I was in college I needed a wrist splint. The one they gave me was huge! One size does not fit all so my mom got out her sewing machine like you did and fixed it. So glad Freya doesn’t need surgery! She seems happy with her splint and sling so hopefully four weeks will fly by! Happy holidays!
Thank you I hope it goes by quickly too
Poor Freya! I’m so proud that she’s taking these bold moves! I’m sorry our little mama has a boo! Feel better sweetheart, and love to you, Marci! That is the cutest sling and I love how you adapted that for her! My sister is a multiple amputee from her condition and sometimes uses a sling on her arm when the sores get really bad! Thank you for this good idea!
I’m always trying to adapt things to fit freya
So glad Freya doesn’t need surgery! Hope she feels better soon. 🤞❤️
Sharing your stories Marci I'm sure you help many cope better with their issues as you give a feeling of support and comfort to many who may badly need it. ❤
This is so tough. You are a rock! Hope Freya heals quickly.
Bless your ❤ Mom, you know her best. How frustrating. So glad for the pa. Sending prayers and Merry Christmas wishes,
Good vibes, lots of prayers, happy happy thoughts coming your way for your whole courageous family! 😇🤩🥰🌹
Thank goodness you sow ..a very talented mom. A true blessing. I admire how you find a way to defeat struggled. You are such a moma bear.
I am so sorry! I tell you as parents we have to be so vigilant about our children and especially for her who cannot verbalize her pain!!! Merry Christmas to you band the family!
Chris really feels sad for Freya... such a caring father.
🙏🏼 hope all goes well. Just a little advise to try therapy on her elbow so it won’t freeze up. She is so precious. ❤
Hope Freya’s feeling better , and you as well!! So glad she has you to advocate for her! I think at times the docs don’t listen as much to us (and what our instincts are)as they should ! She’s such a sweet little angel. You have some pretty great kiddos and family for sure!! Hope y’all had a great Holiday!!! Great seeing on of your videos again, although frustrating for you I’m sure. At least she don’t have to have surgery!!
So many drs just don’t listen. You know your babies body. Glad the pa listened
So glad Freya doesn’t need surgery! You are an amazing mom! 💜💜
Lots of love and healing hugs from Sweden ❤️🇸🇪
Thank you
Aww, my little friend is hurting 🙁 As a mom I know exactly how you feel Marci. It may not be your arm but it is just something about seeing your child in pain that hurts you to the core. Sending all the family my love and a special hug for my super hero Freya.
So sorry you both went through that. I hope you have a calm and happy Christmas!
Poor baby I broke my shoulder I. July..so glad she didn't that hurt soo much blessings for her
Everyone needs a patient advocate no matter the age or problem. Someone needs to look out for their loved ones.
Poor Freya. Thankfully she has you to advocate for her! Sometimes we have to insist when our instinct is telling us something. I hope she heals quickly and the pain subsides.🥰
Speedy recovery Freya! Dr. Mom always know….
I wish nothing was wrong but I'm glad no surgery. Your kiddos are just adorable. Take care and have a Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
#fanforlife❤
Awwww! I am praying for you and cute Freya❤
Always good to seek second opinion when surgery is mentioned! The health system is burdened!
Awww you're a great Mom.. You're Mom instincts kicked in, we always know when something is wrong with our children....😊
So true!
I so agree that as a parent of a child with a disability there are doctors that really know and understand Marissa's conditiond!
Although it’s sad her elbow is broken at least you know about her shoulder anatomy now which could save time trying to explain in the future if something else ever happens. Little miss daredevil will no doubt try other dangerous feats of bravery. Hopefully she heals quickly and will leave her cast on until it does. Hope you have a peaceful Christmas with everyone feeling better. 🙋🏼♀️
That is true. Good info for future. Just wish the radiologist would have said it was a possibility.
UFFDA (Norwegian for good grief, oh no, oh …) Mothers intuition!!!! Most people in the medical field are great. But some are not. I am disabled and have had situations just like you. PRAISE GOD for showing you where to go!!!! 🎉
Agreed! Thank you! A falcon flew by my car on the way. I took it as a good sign.
I’m so sorry Freya and Marci. Having worked in Medical Records, I know what can be screwed up. You are Marvelous and if I was there, I would give you both a gigantic hug. Prayers for you both. I know as a Mother too, your heart breaks for your child. My Prayers always for you all. I think you have a budding Nurse or Teacher in Jessie. God bless and know I am with you in spirit. Love you, your New Jersey friend💋💗😉💕❤️Merry Christmas all.
God Bless you for being you beautiful mama! Happy Holidays!💖
I spent many a holiday in the ER with one child or another; not the best thing to have happen, but I always told them it was our special holiday adventure. We had strep throat, a broken foot, mono .. those are just a few. When my son was around 8 years old, he broke his elbow, as well .. he cried all night for a full week straight, the pain was just unbearable. I'm not sure how both of us survived that but somehow you do. Life with my 7 children has sure been a wild ride, and even though they weren't things you might have wanted to happen, they are still memories we made that we still talk about today, even though the kids are all grown with lives and families of their own. One day - when yours are grown up - you will look back and even laugh: How did I go through all of that crazy and still be able to put a complete sentence together?! Somehow, you do. Marci, you're a wonderful Mom and you are such a beautiful family. Wishing you all a blessed Christmas and a New Year of making new memories together. Sending sweet, precious Freya love and hugs 🤗 💜🌲⛄
Thank you so much! It is a wild ride for sure
Don’t blame yourself, it’s true that radiologist should of listened to your concerns should of rechecked, some doctors shouldn’t practice
Get well soon Freya!!❤❤
You did a good job, trusting your gut. And your heart of hearts when you know something is up usually there’s something up. When I was four years old, I did a front somersault over my big sister and broke my arm. And my mom sowed all of my slings for my arm. I was in a cast from my fingers to my shoulder. And I was like that for at least eight weeks.
Oh my goodness. It is so frustrating when doctors won’t listen to parents who know their kids better than anyone else. Poor baby. I’m so sorry she broke her elbow, but so glad she won’t need surgery!
I have lymphedema and I am also disabled and I’m shocked at how many places won’t see me or don’t know how to treat me. It’s frustrating.
It is so frustrating. I’m sorry.
Hi Marci I hope fraya gets better soon merry Christmas to u and your family I ❤ watching your videos ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Disability parent or not, you know your child and you must be listened to. Gut instinct is reliable too.
poor lil girl hope it heals fast i know little cracks cause big pain broke my knee cap and they said i could need surgery when it happen but got lucky took 2 months for it to heal and still hurts when it gets cold here
