I had hoped to get an update posted this morning with some ADR's and Day 2 of our summer vacation. However, life got in the way (or should I say a scooter) which prevented from uploading to photo bucket last night.
Jeremy has been on Spring Break for a week. He has had a great week off. He went to grandma's for 2 days, played outside in the nice weather, went to the movies and saw Hop. It was a great week to be off as we finally hit the low 80's here in Ohio yesterday.
Tom worked yesterday and Jeremy and I did nothing but play. Well, Tom got off at 6:00 last night and went on squad at 7:00. At 7:01, he got toned out to go on a run. Jeremy had been dying to ride with him to the squad building so Tom lets him go and I was going to follow to pick him up. Jeremy loves it when Tom goes fast with the sirens blaring! It's a boy thing!
Tom yells back at me to get his wallet as he didn't have it on him and needed his license. I run back in to get it, leaving my wallet at home and of course I grab my cell phone which is dead! I pick up Jeremy just as the squad is pulling out and head to the local park for my nightly 4 mile walk.
Well, on mile #2, Jeremy has an accident on his scooter. I run to him and it looks like just scrapes and bruises on the knees and elbows. I pick the scooter up off him and see blood near his ankle and a real deep cut! The side of the scooter had cut down into his leg. I tend to panic but I kept it together as I knew it would upset him. He got up and limped across the park with me to the car. Of all nights, I have no cell phone to call Tom (who is at the hospital anyway with the squad) and there is no one around to help me. Plus, our insurance card is at home in my wallet. Jeremy remained calm until I told him we had to go the hospital as it would probably need stitches.
The hospital is not far away but honestly, I don't remember the drive. Tom hadn't left yet. He got Jeremy and one of the EMT's wrapped his leg until they could see him. At this point, I lost it and could not stop crying. My baby was hurt and I felt so bad for him.
The ER was extremely busy. We got there at 8 and it was midnight before we left to go home. Jeremy was a trooper. He didn't cry any once he got there. I was so proud of him. He squeezed my hand when they numbed it and didn't flinch. In the end, they put 2 stitches inside the wound and 6 on the outside. It was a very bad cut the doctor said.
He did go to school today. I went and talked with his teachers to make sure they knew to call if he got to feeling bad. I think he couldn't wait to tell everyone about his 8 stitches.
Tom is picking him up from school today and he is taking to him to the local ice cream shop for a treat!
Of course, the only thing he asks me is, do you think that since I was so brave we could ride horses at Fort Wilderness! Gotta love that kid!
I will upload tonight and post more tomorrow!
