Unfortunately, Jared is just as clumsy!! But, he is a boy and is a little bit of a Daredevil. That is not a good combination!! Saturday we went tubing and had a great time!!! No one was injured and we did not freeze to death, so we thought it was a good day. LOL!!! HAHAHA! No weekend is complete with out a trip to the ER in the Jones' Family...at least not this year.
We stopped at Burger King to get the kids some dinner since it was late. Elesha and I were in line to order and I heard Jared scream!! I looked over an he immediately had a huge goose egg on his head and it was continuing to get bigger. We didn't even order the food. We all loaded back in the car and went to the ER. Justin said Jared was swinging between two tables and he swung too far backwards and fell straight down on his face!
I am glad that Elesha was with me! She took all the other kids to McDonald's while we went to the hospital. McDonald's because it was closer, but mostly because the people at BK didn't even lift a finger to help us! One employee was sitting within arms reach of him when it happened, and she didn't even look up!!
The doc was afraid that he cracked his skull right above his right eye, so he ordered a CT to look at the bone and to check for swelling inside.... Everything looked good, so we thought. Jared was his usual self and all back to normal at this point.
Elesha came to get us and we stopped at the shoppette for milk on the way home. That is when the doctor called to tell us that the radiologist thinks she saw a tiny bit of blood on the scan, and he would like for us to come back to be monitored...probably overnight due to Jared's recent Neurological stuff.
The on call doctor did not feel comfortable having him at Elmendorf given his age and past history, so Jared got to ride in another Ambulance. This is his 5Th time to do so, and he is only SIX YEARS OLD!!!!! This time he was awake, and wanted to take pictures so he would remember it, lol.
Other than the nurses coming in every hour and us not getting much sleep, everything went well. Jared had no problems through the night. WE were released Sunday morning. The problem is that they are afraid of secondary head injury. That is when you bump your head again before the first injury can heal. If he hits his head a second time he could have severe bleeding. So they prescribed limited activity for TWO MONTHS!!!! Needless to say, I am a nervous wreck! Jared will not be still and he trips when he walks!!! I need bubble wrap!!!!
The next pictures are from the tubing trip that day. It was a beautiful and fun day. Glad we did it, cause the snow will be gone by the time Jared can play again, he he.
