There is something peaceful, calm, secure and safe when you hear the word home. You think of a safe haven, where you and your family members rest and prepare for the next day’s venture; where you nurture your little loved one in the hope that they will have a place, even better than that, in…
Ooh-Awh-Ouch! from a fracture
If there is a moment a child wails the loudest, it is when they have just had a fracture (breaking of a bone), which is characterised by immense pain, an unusual bend, swelling or inability to move a limb or joint.
