Trip To The ER!



What an evening!!! Hubby had a trip to the ER! This evening Richard and Andrew were up on the second floor of the house putting up more rafters. I had been outside watching them and then came in the house for about 10 minutes and Andrew came running in the door. He said "HE'S OKAY AND HE'S SITTING UP BUT RICHARD FELL OFF THE ROOF!!" I ran just as fast as I could go and crying the whole way. It seemed like it took me forever to get to him. When I did get to him he was sitting in front of the doorway of the house. He is okay but I made him go to the ER anyway. He fell about 20ft and hit the ground! His right foot hit the ground first on the heel area. He has several scraps and stuff. The doctor said he didn't see any breaks in the foot but the radiologist would be in tomorrow morning and he would look at it and if there were any breaks he would call. Richard kept telling me that nothing was broken but I MADE him go anyway! I was soooooo sick! So we just got back home, his foot is swollen and black! And he will be off from work until Monday! My nerves are shot! He keeps telling me to calm down but I freak out over stuff like that, I mean he could have broken his neck or back!!! I hate that he fell but in a way I'm glad I didn't see him, I would have died!




Anyway on to something else... Here is a photo of Hunter pulling the puppies around in his wagon! This was taken about 15 minutes before Richard fell. Actually, I had come in the house to load my photos on the computer! Those poor puppies, Hunter has drove them crazy with that wagon!
I am feeling fine as far as my treatment thing is going. Other than some burning sensations and some blotchy I'm fine! I have a cold and sinus infection so that is making me miserable. I am counting the days until I can love on my babies!!! Last night, Richard would not hush until I slept in the bed with him, we have never slept a part and he is a big baby! So what did I do??? I rolled up in my Special Comfy Quilt so that he couldn't touch me and stayed way over on the edge of the bed. See ladies I haven't forgotten why you made this quilt for me! I will always love and remember you all for this...Thank you so much for the love and comfort that you have given me.

I haven't sewn at all today! I had actually planned on doing some sewing tonight but with all of this I'm just too nervous! Maybe this weekend! Oh and Mom is coming home tomorrow!!!! I'm sooooo glad, I miss her!

I'm so glad Richard is ok! What a scary thing for you, and to not be able to hug him. That would be the worst!

The picture of Hunter and the puppies is adorable. Thanks for sharing!

I'm glad you got to use your comfort quilt and think of us. We love you too!
Love,

What a fall...glad Richard is okay though. He will be sore for several days.

Hunter is so cute with the puppies. They know they are loved by him.

Wonderful that your Mother will be home in just a few hours. Having her physically close will help..that is for your emotional side of being.

Love to all of you,
