Your Moments Caught Photography LLC ®

Well I just had to share our excitement last night!  My 10 yr. old son fell and broke his wrist while at a friends playing.  I got the call 2 minutes after my husband and I had walked into a business cocktail party that he had helped plan.  First I took him to Bryn Mawr Hospital (our local hospital)  we went through the whole process there and confirmed that the wrist was in fact broken, but lucky us it was broken on an angle so it needed to be reset.  What this means is that we were transferred downtown to CHOP (Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania) where they would sedate him to reset and cast the arm.  Well we spent the whole night there, my son was exhausted, hungry and in quite a bit of discomfort, but it is reset and casted.  While he was coming around from the sedation he was very scared, disoriented and upset, I have never felt so helpless.  My heart was breaking for him and all I wanted to do was make it go away now.  I couldn’t help but think about those mothers and fathers out there who are facing real major health issues on a day to day basis with their children.  If I was so disturbed and affected by a broken arm and my son’s feelings of fear, how must these parents feel.  I’m grateful I was able to take a step back from the situation and appreciate how blessed I have been, and grateful for the reminder of how much our little ones need us even when they seem to be growing up before our eyes.  I was also again made aware that my passion for photography can bring someone memories of moments that make us all realize what really matters.

Well a blog entry from me would not be complete without pictures.  I drove my son crazy documenting every step of the way with my new favorite toy my iphone!  Needless to say this is not my usual quality of work, composition, lighting or even subject matter.  But it sure is… “Real Life Captured”  (my tag line by the way)
