ER

Well after a crazy week I decided I would post about some things happening around here, mainly because I am feeling very blessed and thought I better write about it.
Last Friday as I walked into my friends house (she was watching the little ones, so I could go to Brady's class), she tells me that her husband is taking Chas up to the Emergency Room from work. At first I thought she was kidding, she proceeded to tell me she didn't know what has happening, but she would keep the kids until I could come back and get them. I am so grateful for my wonderful friends who I can always count on!!!! So I rush up to the ER meet Chas and a couple guys from work and they tell me what is happening. Vomiting, disoriented, passing out, dizziness, weakness, so I am starting to worry a bit. What the heck is going on? He was fine when he went to work! and that was only 2 hours ago. So they get us into a room quickly, which was so nice, usually it's not so quick around here. They had to pry the garbage can away from him, he wasn't willing to let it go as he was still throwing up. I tried to talk to him and get him to respond, he mumbled a bit, but that was as good as he could do. So they did CT scan, EKG and pumped him full of all kinds of things. 3 meds to try to get him to stop throwing up, and 2 different ones for the pain in his head.
OK so now I am really starting to get worried. Sitting there in the hospital makes you feel all kinds of humble real fast. You quickly realize that is doesn't really matter that you didn't get the dishes done before you walked the door, doesn't matter that there's a table full of tomatoes ready to be canned, oh well, none of that matters now. As I am sitting there while Chas is trying to sleep I really thought about how menial most things in life are, while the things that really matter are looked over. I thought of this quote, which I love "Distractions don't have to be evil to be effective." I've thought of that alot the last couple of weeks. It is so true!
Anyway come to find out Chas had some freak thing happen. They told him he had a sinus infection which did something to his middle ear which caused all the dizziness and vomiting and stuff like that. So not really a major thing, but it has made us do some major self reflection. I am so grateful for him and what a great guy he is, I won't get into all that mushy stuff, but am really glad he is ok.
Thanks to my great friends who kept my kids and made us dinner and came to the hospital to check on us. I feel blessed to have such great friends!! So here is a shout out to you!! Thank you all!!
And of course for my wonderful husband, thanks for sticking around for a few more years!!!
