We celebrated Hawkins' 8 month birthday in the Emergency Room after he took a little spill off our bed and hit his head on the (carpeted) floor. Yikes! Yes, Robbie and I do know better than to leave him on the bed unattended, but the little guy moves SO FAST!
It was super scary, but after few minutes he seemed fine...we debated and decided we better be safe than sorry and get him checked out. On the way to the ER I told Robbie this would be one of the benefits of living in a small town and surely the ER would not be crowded on a Wednesday night in Thomasville, right? WRONG!
It was more crowded than Hole in the Wall on a Saturday night. Seriously.
We checked in and began waiting. Then Hawkins decided to perk up and started waving and talking to every creepy person in the waiting room. We got his vitals checked and decided not to wait the 4+ hours to see a real doctor - got him home and kept him up for awhile to monitor him and then put the little guy to sleep around 9pm. Our eyes were glued to the monitor all night and we woke up a few times letting us know he was ok.
Today he is back to his old self (not taking naps) and playing like he will never get hurt!
Lord, thank you for sheltering our precious son and keeping him safe. In your hands I know and trust that he is protected.
We learn these valuble lessons every day and they teach us how to be better parents. I am so glad you are ok, Hawkins!
