NO PICTURES; THE ER
So yesterday I felt like the worst mommy because I put Maddux in his crib, not knowing that he now can pull himself up by the railing. So I'm getting ready and I hear a thud and screaming. Poor boy was on the floor! So I guess I just wasn't thinking, because he's fallen off the couch before, so I didn't take him in and just ran around and did all the stuff I had to do. So after our date night we noticed Maddux had a bump on his head. He had been real fussy all day, not eating much and throwing up, so we decided to take him to the ER to make sure he was okay. He ended up getting a CAT scan and we found out he had a concussion. So the nurse told us to keep him off solids for a bid and give him clear liquids. She told us that coke actually was best for his tummy. So we watered it down and at church today he had the best tasting bottle! He LOVED it too. A boy after my own heart! So...after a crazy day and night, he's been so much better today. We lowered the crib last night, so now it looks like we have a two year old, not a seven month old. The ER nurse was so impressed, and sad for us, with how strong he is. She kept telling me how I wouldn't have a baby for long with him pulling stunts like this. She says he's trying to grow up too fast. I completely agree. He's trying to climb and get into EVERYTHING! He did pee ALL over himself today while I was changing his diaper. I mean, so much that on the changing table in the women's bathroom his head was basically in a puddle of urine. Gross, I know. So Skyler, since I am now the second councilor in the primary presidency and had to stay, took him home to clean him of his foul smell! ;)
