First ER Visit as a Mom---

And it wasn't for Grayson!
Around 8:30 last night I heard sirens right by our house. Knowing Mike was on his bike, and knowing how often bicyclists are hit by cars in Boise, I was worried it was him...I just knew it was him.
Well, I walked outside to see if it was where I could see it...nope. Right as I walked in, my phone rang. It was Mike telling me I needed to go meet him at the hospital. He was only on the other side of the gas station that is next to our apartments when he wrecked, hit his head, got knocked out, and didn't wake up until the EMTs were there.
Luckily, someone saw him wreck. We think he slid on some loose gravel...
Here he is after his CT Scan and before they cleaned him up....



So, this all happened right as I was getting ready to put Grayson to bed. So, he instead, got put in a car seat- which he hates when tired! Dragged to the hospital...where he wouldn't nurse because I forgot a cover and there was so much interesting stuff to look at. Luckily I thought ahead and grabbed a bottle. He hung out with me there, my parents came up. We decided after knowing Mike was not too injured, that I would take Grayson home, put him to bed, where my parents would stay with him.

I went back to the hospital and got home around 11:30 to find Grayson had woken up at 11:00 for a snack and was not happy to wake up to Grandma and a bottle instead of Mom and a nursing session....poor lil man.

He was back in bed after a good nursing session by 12:30 and was kind to me and slept until 8:30 without waking. He is quite clingy this morning...

Back to Mike- he had to have 2 sets of stitches. 4 below the brow and 6 above. He has some good bumps and scrapes but is ok. He even went to work this morning. Not sure it will last all day but he is trying.

Who would have thought my first ER visit as a mom would be for Mike.....

It's good that he is such a good spirited guy and that he wasn't seriously hurt. Still, I know he'll be in our prayers tonight.

Wow! What a lot to go through. I totally feel for your little guy, since anything out of the norm can throw a baby for a loop. I'll be thinking of/praying for you all to be well.
