What a day

Well we have made it to the last week of football, however I can say that we did not make thru season 5 without injury! About a month ago Keith injured his elbow and we thought that everything was healed and back to normal...boy were we wrong! He turned around and did it again!

After watching it over night James and I thought that it would be best to take him to the doctor "just in case". So I call and we take the boy to the doctor who decided that we needed to have and x-ray because it just looks major! So after going to the doctor and waiting as you always have to do, I took him to the hospital for the x-rays where we again waited for him to be called in. Once he finally was called in it took longer than usual for a few x-rays. This was due to the fact that he was not able to straighten his arm and they were having issues getting the shots they needed.

The technition brought him out and asked, "Is it possible for you to wait until the doctor looks at the x-rays? I think it looks funny." So I waited and waited for the doctor to look. Finally, she came back out and said, "Ok, he said no fractures you can go."

Now this would have been enough for me for one day but of course when one thing goes wrong EVERYTHING goes wrong!!

So like a movie, let me take you back to the beginng of the day!

As I said I had decided that I was going to call and make an appointment for Keith to see the doctor so I did just as soon as the office opened. Now the appointment was made for 4 pm so I decided that I would work thru lunch so that I didn't have to take any extra time off. As my "normal" lunch hour rolled around I received a call from the school that my 7 yr old daughter had been complaining about a stomach ache, so I talked to her to see what was going on, she says "Momma, my tummy hurts and I tryed to tough it out but I think I have a stomach ache." Now who could let that poor little girl stay at school! So I called my mom (who by the way was sick also) and asked if she felt up to going and getting Alicia from school. She said she would so off she went.

Now about 15 minutes later I received a call from my 5 yr old's teacher saying, "Matthew is fine but he has been sleeping all morning. I woke him up and he went to lunch and to recess then came back in and layed down on the floor and fell asleep again." We spoke for a few minutes and I told her my mom was on the way to pick up his sister so I would just have her get him too. When I called my mom, she had made it to the school and was back home with Alicia, so she had to load her BACK UP and go pick up Matt. When she got there half joking she asked the office attendent, "Now there is one more kid at this school, should I go ahead and pick him up too?" They laughed and my mom took them back home.

Well then James called and asked me to set up an appointment because of an unsual bump on his back that was causeing his arm to go numb. I called the doctor and set up his appointment and called him back, so that I did not have to remember the day and time (there is enough stuff going on up there lol).

Well then I rececive another call, up that's right, Kenneth needed to come home. So My mom loaded up two sick kids and herself to go BACK to the school and pick up the last child!

So I can honestly say "WHAT A DAY"!
