~Long Night in the ER :(~


Just wanted to send out an update on our little Joshua. He hit his head yesterday at school and didn't seem phased by it so it didn't alert anyone to a potential problem. Unfortunately his sitter called me around 1pm to let me know that he had a head ache and was crying alot. Once I got there to pick him up he had vomited a couple times. After I got him home he continued to vomit quite a bit and we figured he had a bug. He slept between throwing up and when he finally woke up around super time(and was starving) was when we noticed a bruised lump on his right temple. We took him into Emerge and spent a good 5 hours. He had a CT Scan and did great and was very brave! We are happy to report that the scan was clear and that he was diagnosed with a concussion. He has stopped vomiting and is back to his normal self today. We had a very long night as did Grandma and Grandpa who stayed with Victoria till we got back home. The kids and I all stayed home this morning to re-coup, unfortunately Robert had a hearing to attend that couldn't be missed. I have had a couple calls and emails this morning and wanted to quickly say thanks to everyone that has prayed for Joshua, it was a scary night.... here is a shot of him going for the Ct Scan....still smiling....

Just wanted to add how great Joshua's sitter is, she knew something wasnt right with him and called me and she was so worried about him she was up all night along with us emailing me for an update. We are so incredibly lucky to have someone who loves and cares for Joshua like that....

Michelle, thanks for the e-mail, and posting this update! As soon as Sharon called us last night and told us you were at Emergency, we turned off the TV and immediately Gord, Chris and I spent time in prayer for Josh and all of you. So thankful all is well today.

Have a wonderful weekend!
Love & prayers always,
Joy

So thankful he is "back to normal"...and although it was terribly scary as we think about what the consequences might have been..we sure have had alot of laughs at his antics and conversations at the hospital...those nurses will still be talking about him!!! What a pet...(the scary thing is...SO like his Dad!!!)LOL
