Trip to the Emergency Room


Yes, another trip to the local E.R. This time arriving in style with lights and sirens. So what happened now? Well....
We were singing the invitation song at church services when we heard someone yell "Chad!" and everyone's waving him to the front. So Chad takes off running down the center aisle (yes, during the invitation song) and I follow behind. To find Caleb passed out on the floor on the front row. Very scary!!! So I do what any good mother would do and PANIC as I run to call 911. Caleb wakes up and is very weak and pale and sweaty. So he and Chad take an ambulance ride to the hospital and I follow behind in the van. Everything checked out fine. He had an EKG and had lab work done. Turns out his fluid level is low and he needs to drink more! (Same as last time he passed out and scared his mother to death!) I told him he has to carry a gallon jug of water with him from now on. He's feeling VERY important (which he is) because people have been calling all day to check on him. We are so thankful that he is okay!!!

I am glad that Caleb is ok. But, the thought of Chad running down the center aisle during the invitation song in a way kind of made me crack up.
