Concussion

Okay so first I'll comment on what I think is the funniest picture in history, this is often a sight I get when I ask Mason to stand still, smile and look at me.... so I guess he's like most men, he can't multi-task!!!

What a day..... it started out pretty normal, I dropped Reuben off at school and thought since Coffee Break is over I might go to Costco. Mason was being a bit of a pain in the butt in the cart, he was standing and not listening to my warnings. Just as we rounded the last corner at the front of the store, Mason was standing in the cart again, just as I looked up he topled backwards out of the cart. I could not see him because Julianna's carseat was in the way, so I did not see him fall. Thankfully he cried and told me he hurt his head, I proceeded to the checkout holding him in my arms and he became limp and pale and wanted to sleep. The cashier rushed to get someone to 'take a statement.' This took about 10 minutes, I was annoyed. All this time, Mason was getting more sleepy and pale so when we got into the van I drove towards the Dr's office. Along the drive Mason throw up..... this terrified me! Dr. Cloete sent him down for X-Rays. I should mention that all the while I had to hold Mason, don't forget I also had Julianna... she had fallen asleep, but I couldn't carry both down the stairs, so the nurses offered to watch her. I felt like a bad Mom, but I left her with them - by the way did I mention I love KELLY the nurse at the office. On to the X-Rays - Mason had thrown up again and was finally starting to feel a little better. I explained that he had to lay still so the lady (Carrie Setzkorn - a girl I know from Scrappin' Days) could take his picture, so what would any sweet, adorable, little 3 year old do? He layed perfectly still and smiled for the picture!! :) SO CUTE. We went back up stairs to show the Doctor the pictures, he said everything looks fine, no cracks, but it's definately a concussion so he asked us to wake him up every 2 hours for the next 48 hours!! Mason was so thrilled to find out that he got to sleep with Mommy and I was glad to do it. We are SOOOO grateful that everything turned out okay. Praise the Lord, we sure do LOVE you Mason.
