Another ER visit!!

Well, I don't have any pictures from this visit to the ER. But the story needs to be told. Not many people get the opportunity to visit the ER with all three of their children in a consecutive 12 month period.

We had just walked into Lowe's yesterday and Marcus and Sarah were looking at garden supplies. Jay and I walked over to the carts with Kaitlyn. I put Kaitlyn in the front of the cart where the small children sit. You know, right at the front so she was facing me.

Jay said, "Mom, can I push her?"

I hesitated for a second and they replied, "Sure, do you promise to be safe with my baby?"

Jay replied, "Yes!" and proceeded to grab the cart. Almost as quick as his hands touched the cart he jumped up with both feet on the bar that goes across the bottom and he pulled the entire cart completely upside down. He jumped out of the way and Kaitlyn landed flat on her face and the cart folded on top of her.

I scooped her up and watched the blood start pouring from both of her nostrils and mouth. She started screaming and people immediately started crowding around. We left as quickly as we could and took her immediately to the ER in Idaho Falls. They did a CT scan for us and everything came out okay. Nothing broken. Just a sad baby with a bloody lip and nose.

Jay feels horrible, he loves his baby sister more than life itself. So there you go, my third trip to the ER with my third child. I hope I'm done. I've been told these things happen in threes, so my turn is over.

Heidi,

Life with children wouldn't be complete without trips to the ER. Luckily, we've only ever had to take Isaiah...but he has been enough for everyone in our family, and then some. I hope your baby feels better soon!

I know what you mean....Tasha had two trips to the ER last year.....it was enough for my lifetime! Kevin, surprisingly hasn't been. Weird, I woulda thought the boy would be the one in there.

Thanks for your sweet comments on my blog by the way. you made my day!
