......911

A squad was at our house this Morning at a little after 6 this morning.........It was a normal morning; we took Nick to work, and had gotten home and I was going to change both boys diapers. I had put Xander on our bed and Coleton always climbs up the end of the bed to lay beside Xander. We have done this hundreds of times. He climbed up the end and just fell off the side. I was fully involved in changing Xander, and saw him falling, but it happened so quick and I couldn't get him before he fell. He landed funny on his head...It was loud when he hit the floor...he screamed, then nothing.... I picked him up and he kinda had his head cocked to the left and he had a glazed over look. It WAS the SCARIEST moment of my life. He wouldn't talk or respond. NOTHING, but his eyes were open. I talked to him and tried to get him to do something...So I ran into the kitchen and grabbed the phone and called 911. By the time I got off the phone with the 911 operator, he started talking to me a little, And moving a little. Then he just kept saying I bumped my noggin, I bumped my noggin.

When the squad got here he was just laying on our bed on his side. I was afraid to move him or let him move in case he had really hurt his neck. I told him to sit still until the "Doctor" came to check on him.

So they were checking him out, and by the time they were finished, Coleton's new best friend Jennica(EMT), the "Doctor" was getting hug after hug from Coleton who was smiling and flirting and back to himself. He had his arms around her neck, hands in her hair We decided that he was fine although she offered to transport him to the hospital, which I kindly declined since he was acting fine. Then she said about three times, "how about I just transport him back to the firehouse with me so he can amuse us"...and then she said, bring him by and your camera today, I work till 6pm. He can come play on the firetruck, it will be fun! So, since they left all I have heard is "Mommy, Can I get dressed and go see the fire trucks?" "Mommy, Hey, Mommy, can we PLEAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSE go see the firetrucks" So, I guess we will be seeing firetrucks this afternoon between Doctor appointments.

I think I was involved in a 911 call as a child when me and Erin were playing with the phone one time. After I thought about it,until today, I have never called 911 for help.

So, add this to the fact that I have been feeling very sick, sore throat, achy, and had a Migraine the past two days. Thank you Nick for taking over when I went to bed on Wednesday at 6:00... My headache is feeling much better this morning, but I still need to make sure that I don't have strep throat.

Add to this that..........Wednesday night Xander's eye started seeping but wasn't red. I called the doctors office, and they said see how it is tomorrow. Well this morning it was sealed shut, and it made him very cranky. So, I need to see the Doctor, Xander needs to see the Doctor, and Coleton fell off the bed....Great Day....:(

I am incredibly thankful that Coleton seems to be fine...........and so glad that kids are resilient.
