There should be a law....

That one should only be at the ER with one of their children, say, once a year. Yeah, no, that wasn't the case with me. After having Owen at the ER last Tuesday, I had Brett in the ER on Monday. He fell out of the cart at Target. He was in the back of the basket, and he just flipped right out. At first I didn't think it was that big of a deal, and he just bumped his head. I tried to buy him an ICEE and he wouldn't drink that. We got into the car, and he just didn't seem right. I called Ryan, and told him that I was going to make my way to his work, so he could check him out. Well, while on my way to his work he started vomitting, and couldn't stay awake. I called the doctor and they told me to take him to the ER. After what seemed like the longest car ride, we finally got there, and I brought him in. I couldn't keep him awake, and he kept vomitting. It was pretty scary for awhile, but his CT Scan came back clear, but he wouldn't stop vomitting. They ended up keeping him overnight, and re-do the CT scan in the morning. He woke up wanting water, and to watch T.V. Thankfully the CARS movie was on (his favorite!) The CT was clear, and we were able to come home. Thank God that everything turned out O.K. This is definitely an eye-opener for me, because I ALWAYS put Brett in the back of the cart. Never again!!!
