Emergency visit

Last night I took Preston into the ER. Here is how the night began:
Craig was working the night shift last night so Preston and I went to the mall to shop. Preston was getting crabby in his stroller so I took him out and was holding him. Before we were about to leave I saw a sweatshirt I wanted to try on. I set Preston back in his stroller but I didn't buckle him in and only a second later he fell out of it hitting the back of his head on the hard floor falling about a foot. I got him calmed down and really didn't think much of it because he falls all the time it seems now that he can stand. On the way home he cried but I soothed him by singing to him. When we got home I fed him and he went right to bed. A half hour later he woke up screaming and when I went in his room he had thrown up all over. When I picked him up and changed him he was very docile which is very unlike Preston. I called Craig at work and we both agreed I needed to bring him in. He ended up with a slight concussion but is doing fine now. Preston and I stayed at my parents in town last night since it was so late. My dad picked up McDonald's and I let Preston stay up and eat a snack. Whew, what a scare. The Lord must have had a guardian angle watching over him.

Oh, how scary! Praise the Lord Preston is okay and getting back to normal. Nothing stops your heart more than seeing your little one in pain, does it???
