Not Once But 3 Times!

I'm still awake at this hour, just tuck Z to bed... I cried as I was covering him with his comforter.... He just came back from hospital and after having  his favourite Mac burger.

First time, year 2005... (read about it HERE)
He ran in the house, fell and fractured his left arm.  Then, he was not even 2 yr old....

Second time, year 2008... (read about it HERE)
We were at the playground and he fell from the monkey bar...

Third Time, year 2009...
Our neighbourhood are currently doing upgrading work and it was very noisy.  Beanie had a tough time falling asleep this afternoon.  I decided to nurse him and nap with him... Knowing that LZ will make lots of noise and I can't keep an eye on them when Beanie take his nap, I told LZ to play computer games or their chess.

After some time, instead of doing that, Z was 'sparring' with jiejie... He raised up his hand to block her kick...  I didn't know about it till I send Z for his piano class, which was 2 hours later...  His thumb swell a little but he was able to move it.  We went ahead with his lesson, since we already on our way there and too late to inform his teacher.  I was praying in my heart that he will be fine...

When we got home, I checked on his thumb again... Nope,  no miracle at all and in fact, it was more swollen than before.  I was very mad with L!  I was controlling myself not to scold her but I can't help it...  Later, she left for ballet feeling very guilty...

I wanted to bring Z to the hospital myself but Beanie is too young and I didn't want to bring him along and my maid has no experience with kids..  We waited till LZdaddy comes home from work.  He brought Z to the clinic, he was hoping too that it was not as serious as last times.  Doc suspected a fracture and advised them to go hospital..

Our worst fear was confirmed after the x-ray...  He fractured his thumb and have to be on cast again!  LZdaddy told me Doc jokingly said that Z must be an expert now, know how to shower without wetting his arm and knows how to take care of it!  How could he joke about this???

I cried the moment I saw him with the cast.  This can't be happening again!  H was very tired but he let me clean him up and changed him.  Then he had half the burger and went to bed...

Gosh!  My poor little boy, how many times does this have to happen to him?  Why? Why? Why?   This is not the kind of birthday present for my little boy!  His birthday is next week and he was soooo looking forward to a day of fun!  I have planned activities for them.... He will be starting school in a month time and will he be able to write properly?  Will his thumb be able to function like it used to?   I seriously need to speak to the doc and ask him for advice on how to strengthen his bones. 

I am a lousy mom.... I did not take good care of Z and allow such a thing to happen again and again... I wish all these mishaps to be on me, not my sweet nature boy... He doesn't deserve all these!  Let it all happen to me!  Not him PLEASE.....
