I am just now reading this, so hopefully by the time I finish getting through my emails, I will read he is fine. But he has my prayers. As do you.

-- *[DownSyndromeInfoExchange] prayer request for

I'd appreciate your prayers for . Last evening, (soon to be 3) was climbing the steps of his little 3-ft. plastic slide and fell backwards landing on his back. No one saw it happen, but only saw him after he fell, and he was on his back. Of course he cried, but not for a long time... he was easily comforted in my arms. However, he couldn't/wouldn't walk. He doesn't want to put weight on his right leg and if he does it is only to take a very short and wobbly step with some fussing. We gave him his bath and let him watch a video, and he is just fine with sitting activities. He seems comfortable lying on his tummy or back, and slept pretty well, last night. He woke up a couple times, but was easily gotten back to sleep. Maybe something hurts him when he accidently turns onto his right side?He has an appointment with his pediatrician, this afternoon, but I'd like to have an idea what to expect. I can't see any swelling or bruising or unusual angle. What might be wrong? I've heard that sometimes our kids put their hips out, but would that be something I'd be able to tell by looking at him? All I can think of is that maybe he bruised his tailbone, but, if that was the case, wouldn't it hurt him to sit? An xray-tech friend said with his flexibilty and low tone and relaxed body, plus his young age, he probably didn't break anything. I'm worried about what kind of an ordeal is ahead for him, this afternoon. does not do well with strange places and strange people touching him. Pray that the problem will be identified quickly without too much trauma for him. Thanks!
