Hayden's birthday tradition
Happy Birthday to my Baby. Okay he is not a baby. He is 11 years old. For the last 11 years Hayden has only been healthy for maybe 3 of his birthday's. His health problems range from Asthma for the first 3 or 4 years to having his finger ran over by a training wheel on a bike and it broke his finger and ripped off the finger nail or he broke his arm the day before his 8th birthday. This year he has stuck with his tradition. The day before his birthday he got a gusher of a bloody nose. We tried for 20 minutes to get it to stop. Finnaly we took him into the comunity care and got a pack put into it. It was packed real tight. At one point he said, "Mom my nose feels like it is going to POP!" Poor boy! he stayed home from church on his birthday and did not go to school the next day after the packing was taken out for fear he would get bumped and start it all over again. I wish he would find a new yearly tradition. Maybe when he is 12 it will change!
