Her pain tolerance has always been of concern. So much so that her doctor had to keep an eye on it when she was a baby. Luckily we found out she can feel pain. But from my experience with her she can feel it but it doesn't "hurt" her. Usually her crying after an injury is short lived and i tend to think it is more that she scared herself then hurt herself. I gave her Motrin this morning because I assumed she would be in pain or discomfort. Nope. All day she kept saying she was fine. This evening she was fine. No Motrin in her.

So this is really bothering me. All day today she ran around just like normal. She was practicing her tumbling. She could easily bust it open again. This scares me. It is hard enough to see your child hurt, but then to worry about her hurting herself again.

So then tonight it was bed time and we talked to her about being careful when she gets ready for bed. She asked why. We had to remind her about last night. She does not learn consequences. Usually when a child hurts themself they learn not to do that again. They get just a little fear inside of it happening again. But because she doesn't get pain like most kids she does not learn the consequences. She then puts herself in danger again.

She has an appointment with our new Ped on Monday to get the staples out. I am going to bring up my concerns. I am probably being overly worried, but seriously, her behavior after that fall is just not normal for that type of injury. Julia got a minor concussion when she was 18 months and her head hurt for two days. She was very slow the next day. Not Sevi. She was bouncing all over the hospital last night. Even the ER doc commented on it. He was surprised that she was not in pain.

So today I spoiled her. I took the girls to their fav pizza place for lunch and then I got Ice Cream for dessert after dinner. My baby got hurt so Mama's going to spoil her. LOL

She goes to school tomorrow. I will have to let her teacher know and to just keep an extra eye on her so she does not bump her head.

This is just really bothering me. Of course I would rather my child not feel pain. No one wants their child to hurt. But we feel pain for a reason. For example, her head should hurt right now to tell her to slow down and take it easy so it can heal. The pain should teacher her that she needs to be more careful in the bathroom. etc.
