We're Home!
in Baby
Well what a week! as mrjbourne told you all max has had an op! i feel so crap for leaving him like it for a couple of days! i had no idea! he was still using his arm and crawling on it! just not as much! after everything it turned out he had a fracture and a dislocation!! we have absoltultey NO IDEA how he did it which makes me feel even more worse! He's got pot on his arm now to keep everything in place and will be going back on wednesday to have it checked! also the worst part about it all is because i cant explain how he did it, obv social services have to get involved, they have been great though and reassured me that this has happened to lots of people but its procedure with an unexplained injury! the type of injury he has the dr said is common with a twist to the arm! only thing i can think of is when he is walking with his hands up and has dropped to the floor! I'm racking my brains as to how he could of done it! its horrible feeling that ive let him down by not spotting it sooner or done anything sooner also that people may actually think i have harmed him! also jack often plays with him and tries to pick him up which he has been told off for so many times! i feel so crap right now! max is back to smiling and running eserk in his walker but is a bit humped that he cant crawl or stand up now! just thought i'd let you all know the full goings on of what has got to be the worst week of my life!

Try not to blame yourself too much hon, it's so easy for little ones to hurt themselves, and you can't be watching them every second of the day, especially when you have other children to take care of as well.
The important thing is that you made sure he got seen to - hopefully there's no lasting damage and the social services continue to be understanding.
I remember when my brother and I were little I threw his cup down to my dad through the banister and he decided to follow it and squeezed through, fell about 10feet onto his head! My parents were terrified to take him in in case they were labelled bad parents, but the medical staff and social couldn't have been nicer to them. I'm sure they can tell the difference between caring parents and the negligent/violent ones.

Have been reading your posts but havent had chance to reply.
No doubt there were looking round the house for evidence of neglect like is it clean, child safe, how your children intereact, how they interact with you. Are they clean and clothed. How you react and your body language etc.
Like you said, you've expained the situation theres nothing more to it. They were probably asking you the same questions to see if you let anything slip or the story had changed slightly - give away if your lo was abused. But as this isnt the case it wasnt.
Glad to hear there was a nicer social worker there to. they will also get info from your hv who will hopefully give a good report.
Just noticed the date, hope all went ok yesterday .....or is it next wed? Hugs xxx
