In our quest to keep Simi injury-free, we went to the zoo on Friday. It's about a 1.5 hour drive each way and we thought to take the double jogger so the boys could sit during the entire journey - perfect!
We did manage to get the boys to sit in the jogger for much of the zoo trip, but there were parts they wanted to get out and walk. At one point, while helping Simi get back into the jogger, Simi tripped on my (Liz's) foot and fell. He took a hard fall and immediately started crying. Something like this issue was exactly what we were trying to avoid! My breath was held while Raj and I examined Simi. The result? A skinned knee. There was no injury to Simi's chest at all. Phew!
Later, back home, we had to clean the skinned knee and put antibiotic ointment on it. Just the thought of cleaning the knee was enough to send Simi through the roof; he wasn't letting us anywhere near the knee. The look of fear on his face was at maximum level - at just the mere thought of anyone touching that knee.
Next step? Find a way to help Simi work through some of these residual fears.
