No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed!!
Well, we had the first of I'm sure many scary events in Gus' life. We made our first trip to the emergency room for him. Gus and I were upstairs in my room and unfortunately he got away from me too quickly and took a nose dive off the bed onto his head!! I spoke with the pediatrician and she said that we should keep and eye on him and gave us signs to look for. One of those signs was vomit. About 15 minutes after I hung up with the doctor, Gus started to throw up. So off to the ER we went. The monitored him and checked him out. They even gave him a popscicle...his first. They sent us on our way and told us to wake him up every two hours throughout the night to check on him. We'll just put it this way...he is one angry little man when you wake him up.

Oooo, that's scary stuff. I'm sorry to hear about that. I have a couple questions, though, and a comment.
ReplyDeleteVery important: What flavor was Gus' first popsicle?
And how happy are YOU when you have to wake up every two hours to wake Gus up? :)
I love that song, "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
Pooor babies (the three of you)...how scary that first trip to the ER is. I guess if I'm being truthfull, I will have to admit that they're all scary and it never, never gets any easier. My advice (not that you asked or anything), put a football helmet on him, a uniform with pads and get him (somehow) inside a giant bubble...then, and only then, can you finally (truly and deeply) exhale. Smooches!!!!
