So many times I've found her bleeding gashes and she never even made a peep. <BR/><BR/>It's one of the hardest things for me - trying to figure out if something is really wrong. A friend suggested using a band-aid... that is, teaching her to put a band-aid on her tummy if that's the body part that hurts. The only problem is, she hates band-aids. =}Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811189992135134605.post-89066963886017111242008-12-31T15:28:00.000-06:002008-12-31T15:28:00.000-06:00You know, the abundance of splinters that Joy gets...You know, the abundance of splinters that Joy gets is undoubtedly also the result of her pain tolerance. I don't think I've had more than a dozen splinters in my life because I shy away from things that will give them to me. Apparently Joy doesn't.<BR/><BR/>Happy New Year!Quirky Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13486739791011081198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811189992135134605.post-20763496527468044802008-12-30T21:31:00.000-06:002008-12-30T21:31:00.000-06:00Never really been cool.

Tummy trouble? Hairline fractures?"<BR/><BR/>Couple circumstances with other symptoms - fever, reduced appetite or eating. As for fractures, if hairline - the only/most critical would be in the skull - and you probably know what to watch for in the case of big head bang. <BR/><BR/>That is to say, you are not left with just her ability to express pain to keep her healthy. <BR/><BR/>For ingrown toenails and splinters - routine skin inspection during dressing or baths. Bet I did not need to say that, but, you know, I RatK. <BR/><BR/>Happy New Year to the JoyFamily!

LOL<BR/><BR/>I totally hear you about the pain threshold; Nik's got a fairly high tolerance to pain overall except for certain locations. The hardest part is his inability to articulate *where* it hurts. We've atleast gotten to the stage of "Can Mommy kiss your boo boo?" and he'll thrust a body part at me. But if it's internal? He doesn't know what to do and just launches himself into my arms sobbing. So hard sometimes.<BR/><BR/>Wishing you guys a very happy new year!Niksmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715465327343655483noreply@blogger.com
