A Friday night ER Visit

Yesterday I actually go off from babysitting a little early, so I got to go pick up the boys at school. When I picked them up, Nathaniel was complaining of a headache. On the way home he explained how he had hit his head during recess while playing basketball and it had hurt ever since. When we got home I got some Tylenol in him and he laid down. A few minutes later, he threw up. Scary! This is not a kid who has trouble taking medicine. Ron and I both thought concussion. While Ron cleaned up the mess, I called the school to get more information. As we gathered info and found the swollen knot on Nathaniel's head, we determined we need to go to the ER to make sure there wasn't a concussion.

I took him and on the way I struggled to keep him awake. We prayed and I tried to keep talking to him and keep the van on the road. Thankfully the boys and Daddy were praying at home too. Grandma and Pap were called to pray also.

After 2 hours, and a CT Scan, we determined that he was OK, but we needed to continue to watch him for a few symptoms because things could possibly (not likely) develop.

I woke him up a few times in the night, just to be sure, but Praise the Lord he is now outside running and climbing trees with his brothers!

Thank you Jesus for protecting our Nathaniel. Thank you for watching over our kids, even when we are not around!
