On Saturday I hurt myself playing in the pool with Tyler, with my right bicep muscle getting the worst of it. I have been slowly improving but I have had to limit the use of my arm. I usually put Tyler to bed but there was no way I was going to be able to lift him from rocking chair to bed. I told him as we watched his “wind down” DVD that I loved him very much but that I had hurt my arm and Daddy would be putting him to sleep.
“You hurt your arm? Where? Let me kiss it.” I showed him where my injury was. He kissed my arm and stroked it with his little hand. As we watched his show he stroked my hand.
I’m overwhelmed and so thankful for this compassionate, beautiful little boy I have. He is such a nurturing…person! Here’s hoping he can one day kiss all of my boo boos away.

About mamasick
Emily Cullen is a pen-name. A former local radio personality for seven years, I still remain active in the voiceover business. My husband, “Grant”, and I have been married since 2002 and have already experienced the “worse, “poorer, ” and “sickness ” of marriage. We both suffer from chronic illnesses and diseases which have progressed. My diseases include Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, and most, recently and seriously, Lupus.
Despite all of the challenges we have faced, we were able to have a little boy, “Tyler,” born in September of 2006, which is the best thing to ever happen to us. Tyler has been classified as a “special needs” child with diagnoses which include Anxiety, OCD, and Tourette’s Syndrome. We also share our home with two cats.
We live in New Jersey and I enjoy reading fiction and learning more about taking care of my son. Before my son, I used to enjoy watching movies…watching television for that matter! Before Lupus I enjoyed fine dining and fine wine.
No longer able to work, I am now wondering, “What will I do with the rest of my (somewhat) young life?” Blogging sounds like a good start!
