Chris hurts knee at work, takes pain meds
6:10 pm Both crabby boys in
bed for a much needed
early bed time
8:30 pm Dylan wakes up crying saying
his ear hurts. Give him medicine and put him back to bed.
12:45 am Jacob wakes up with the
worst croupy cough he has ever had. I get up to give him some medicine, his
nebulizer, get the humidifier going and figure out how to get him
comfortable. Chris gets up and makes his way to the kitchen.
12:47am I hear a crashing sound coming
from the kitchen. Run out to see Chris face down, lying on the floor with his
head at the top of the steps. Freezer door open, tons of stuff ripped off of
the frig. He won’t answer me and his arms are flopping around. He looks like he
is trying to puke. WHAT!? Is he having a seizure? What is happening!? I call
911. As I hang up with the operator, Chris comes to with a big old gash on his
head (and shoulder) and goes, “OH, I guess I didn’t make it back to the
bedroom.” More than relieved he is talking to me.
1:25am EMT people
arrive and say the roads are absolutely awful and they were sliding all over
the place on their way to our house. I think-good thing it wasn’t an emergency
at this point. Hudson EMT and Roberts volunteer fire people show up and take
vitals, ask lots of questions, put Chris in a neck brace and on a board. (Jake
is watching all of this while Dylan is sawing logs).
2am
Fire
rescue truck, ambulance and first responder car all loaded up ready to leave.
They want to take Chris to the hospital because he did his head hard and they
want to check him out. I hear the fire rescue truck pull away with chains on- I
guess it really is icy out there!
3am Jacob is
back to sleep. Chris calls to say they are done checking him out and he is
fine. They think he passed out from the pain. They don’t think that it was a
seizure or anything to do with the medicine. Xray of knee shows no broken
bones. Probably just a bad bruise. Now, how to get home?
3am-6am Chris calls the
cab company who doesn’t answer until 6am. I feel guilty but I am afraid I might
make this a bigger mess by hopping in the car and somehow getting in a car
accident on the way to the hospital.
7
am ish Chris
gets a hold of our buddy Justin Munger to give him a ride back to our house-
yay!
7:30am Dylan’s
school is canceled for the day.
8:30am Dylan wakes
up and says his ear doesn’t hurt anymore (but I will still be taking him in to
get his ear checked- this kid has a ridiculously high pain tolerance)
9:10
am Boys
are playing Legos, Chris and Tucker are in bed. Jacob still has a horrible
cough.
We
will head to the QuickCare clinic soon and pick up
some movies and hibernate
for the rest of the day.
That is all the excitement I can handle.
