Our trip to the ER

Ok, so the day started out pretty good! Dan took off for Arizona for the Mission's Trip and left the house around 4:30 a.m...almost slept in if Bryce hadn't stopped to pick him up, his alarm didn't go off! Whew! But they made it! Mom (Dan's Mom) took Tim to the shuttle at Red Lion so he could fly back to Annapolis...we didn't get to say goodbye because we were still sleeping (me and the kids). So goodbye Tim, it was great seeing you! :) Then my friend Theresa dropped her kids by around 10:30 a.m. so she could get her hair done...but...as we were getting ready to go to the park the kids were all out in the garage and so was Dan's mom and I...well we got a weight bench, and it happened so fast we couldn't stop it, but one of the 35 pound weights was bumped by Micah and it fell on his foot! Oh my goodness...I feel like the worst mom ever! He had his little yellow boots on too...but it didn't stop it from swelling and turning blue right away...of course. So I called the Doctor's office asked the nurse if we could come see the doctor or what...and she said since it was such a heavy weight dropped on a small child to go to the ER. So I had to call Theresa and tell her to come back, I feel awful! The neighbor girls across the street came to watch her girls while Mom and the kids and i jumped in the car and took off to the ER. Micah had stopped crying by the time we got in the car...we waited in the ER for a VERY long time...got there a lil after 11 I think and got discharged around 4p.m. Whew! AWful! Anyways, Dan's mom was GREAT and I'm so thankful she was there with me, I was a pretty freaked out and teary when it first happened and my brain was trying to get everything in order to get outta the house. 'Siah was a trooper and was so concerned about his brother...we finally got him to go with Dan's mom and CAmi to go get lunch and then my sister Carissa came and met them at Costco to pick him up to go to her house! THANKS Carissa! Meanwhile Micah and I were still waiting, and finally got taken back to a room...where he fell asleep and was out...he was so sad..but was such a big boy! He didn't cry barely at all until they finally after a couple of hours took him to get x-rayed...because I had to wake him up. He didn't break his foot...I guess kids have soft bones or they haven't grown in all the way in their feet and they have a lot of cartilage...so he was safe...just a LOT of swelling and a lil bruised! He's supposed to not really be on it for 3-4 days...because it'll hurt a lot...but how do you keep a 2 year old off his foot? :0( So i'm giving him lots of Tylenol and he's a lil gimpy! Poor guy...and tomorrow he turns 2! We made it home, after stopping at Wal-Mart tried to get hi prescription , but the were all out of it (Tylenol w/ Codiene). So we stopped by and got pizza, movies and then home! Whew! Theresa was a sweetie and dropped by some goodies for the boys...the boys loved them! THANKS Theresa! I owe you big time! Thanks for all that were saying a lil prayer for Micah and for those of you who were thinking of him as well! Much appreciated! I hope I don't have to top that event while Dan is gone for the next 10 days! We're exhausted!
