ER trip

today we were at jacob's football camp and i had the boys in the car b/c there was no where shady to sit. i sent neal and zach to check on jacob b/c we lost him in the groups of boys (where we were sitting we could see him but couldn't quit pick him out of the crowd when they changed stations). so they come back to tell me they didn't see him. while they were gone i had put the passenger seat down and made mikey a little play area b/c he was tired of the carseat. so the boys come back, i go to slide my flip-flops on so i can get out and hear "SPLAT". zach had opened the back door and mikey fell out of the suburban (about 3 feet) head first. it took him a second to scream, and when i picked him up i saw a bruise but it wasn't goosing up, so i paniced. we ran out to the field and i immediately spotted jacob and we got him off the field and headed to the ER. mikey was screaming the whole time. so the nurse that checked us in took us back immediately and marked us urgent, the doctor came right in. i have never been seen so quickly at this ER and the waiting room was FULL. so pretty much we talked with the doc for about 30 minutes about risks and options. mikey was borderline, he was awake and responsive which was great, and we had to weigh the pros and cons of going ahead with a cat scan, which they would have put him to sleep for. we opted to observe him and bring him back if anything changed. so far so good though. we follow up on tuesday with his ped if nothing arises before then. i don't usually panic but i did this time.

where the flip is my calgon????????
