I have always been very proud that for 9 years we have avoided the emergency room. I realize how lucky we are to have 2 children that never needed stitches or had an emergency. Leave it up to the 3rd child to break the record!
Last night, Brett was climbing on Rick's recliner (just like he does EVERY night) and somehow he fell over the side of the recliner. I was sitting close by and saw the whole thing. Brett hit the hardwood floor face first without even bracing himself. He whimpered until Rick picked him up and then he went completely limp. His eyes were closed and his head rolled from side to side. He went limp on Rick's shoulders/ Rick grabbed him and held him up and he did not respond. Immediately, Bryson ran to get ice out of the refrigerator and Blake let out this blood curdling scream and was yelling, "He's dead! He's dead!"
After what seemed like an eternity but was only a minute or two, Brett woke up and started crying. He then went back to sleep. We kept trying to rouse him but he would not wake up. Grandmomma and Grandaddy came to the house to stay with Blake and Bryson while we went to the hospital. On the way to the hospital, Brett came back to his normal happy self. The ER doctor wanted to do a CT scan to make sure everything was okay. Brett did not like being papoosed but he was the cutest Baby Burrito you have ever seen!
Fortunately, everything was fine and we were discharged from the ER. Brett is doing great!
