Scary Experience

Yesturday we had the most horrifying and scary experience with Reiko. My sister, her kids, Derek, Reiko and I decided to go down the street to Bartliff's Restaurant for lunch, Kai was at school, We have to bring Reiko's special highchair to the restaurant so I strapped him in and we walked down the street with him in the highchair, well there was a big bump in the sidewalk we did not see, I hit it and his tray goes flying forward..and so does he! I grabbed him just before he flipped out of the chair, which if I had not of caught him would have killed him, I pushed him back into the chair, and he cried really hard, so I picked him up and held him, trying to figure out if it was a pain cry or scared cry, I assumed that his femurs would have broken from him going forward, but he calmed down within a few minutes and we went to the restaurant, hearts in our throats, but he acted good all through lunch, happy, talkative, so we didn't notice until later on that his ribs were really hurting him on the left side, and then while I was at the gym for the first time in way way wya to long, Derek noticed that his right leg was broken, probably the tibia, definitely not the femur. We had just unwrapped his leg 1 day before. its so unfair that he has to go through these things . Why was he given this horrific disease? How come he has to live a life full of pain? I hate OI so much. I am just soo thankful I was able to get him before he plunged to the ground.

Another experience yesturday which was kinda scary but in a completely different way, I am a huge believer in ghosts, so when we bought our Android phones last week I instantly downloaded this application called Ghost Radar Classic, it picks up on spirit energies and tells you what they are saying, I have played with it before but it always said random things, so I was starting to think it was just a bogus app, but when we got to the restaurant which is very old and haunted (I use to work there, its haunted), my sister and I both turned on our ghost radar, her's picked up so much stuff, the first word was "crowd" and it was busy, it kept bringing up "Johnathan" "death", but the most crazy stuff was when our waitress brought the food it said "serve", and while it kept saying other words, a billboard came flying off the wall for no reason, making the whole restaurant scream, me the loudest, and when we got the bill it said "tip" , this app is real! Its crazy!!

Derek and I are finally at a gym again so I went last night, did a good workout and I am looking forward to another one today, the only problem is I am feeling crappy, I have a bad headache, I am assuming related to feeling down about Reiko's hard times right now. But the gym is my get-a-way so I need to go and get healthy again, I realised how bad my cardio was yesturday, I had to do 2 10 minute intervals it was to hard to do it all at once, and to think in March I was able to run 10 minutes straight and felt good...how do I let myself get this way? Why do I struggle with losing weight, why am I not motivated enough? I dont get it....I would love to have the determination to stick with something...its very frustrating.

School has been good as well, I handed in anothe assignment last week and got an A+ (100%) again!! I did another assignment for another course and I am anxiously waiting for the results...I hate waiting. Tomorrow if the weather is good, a bunch of us are going to Canada's Wonderland for the Halloween haunt! Its supposed to be super scary! I can't wait! I really hope the weather holds out.

That is about it for now, Kai is doing awesome with school, learning so much and Derek is handsome and wonderful as usual. Take Care!

  1. Hey Jess,

    I just found your blog and I would like to say that your two little boys are so lovely and cute! The experience with Reiko sounds really scary and I am very glad that you could catch him! I hope he recovers from his injuries quickly.

    You have a beautiful family I am sorry to burst in like that. I found your blog through google and I have a rather unusual request ;)
    I am advocating for a little girl with OI who resides in a Russian orphanage at the moment. (You can see her profile here: http://reecesrainbow.org/15506/bethany). Although there are almost 10k available for her adoption, no family has committed to her yet. I think this is due to the fact that people who are not familiar with OI must find it a very scary condition. That's why I would like to ask you whether you maybe know a family that is familiar with OI as well as interested in adoption. I already wrote an email to the OI foundation but since I have no network at all I thought you maybe know someone.
    If you cannot or do not want to help me, I totally understand and I again want to apologize for bursting in like that.

    Many greetings (also to your little boys)!

    Caroline
