Hospital Trip #1, Child #1

well it was bound to happen soon, but i never thought it would be emily in hospital first! she decided she could fly and jumped off the couch, but just like her mum she hurt herself lol!! we called an ambulance cos she screamed whenever she moved her head. When they came they put her in a neck brace and had to strap her onto an adult leg brace cos she is so small!! she looked so cute but you could see she was hurting. The ambulance officer told me to take a PHOTO!! i looked at her a bit weird wondering if she was a scrapbooker lol!! Before we left for hospital they got her to suck on those green stick things like on tv and it knocked her out. After me and ben stopped panicking off we went in the ambulance. and that is where it all went sour. Mt Isa hospital is the worst! seriously.It took ages to find out anything at all. She went in for a CT scan and because we are in a mining town when she was halfway throught he machine the mines decided to let off explosives (Which they do religiously at 8pm) so as u could imagine i was in the waiting room panicking because the walls were shaking and all i could hear was em screaming!! it must have been so scary! when she came out she had a big smile!! she had 2 big stickers on her arm but she was not happy about the CT scan. She said she didnt want to go back in the washine machine pmsl!! Out if that scan they said they THINK she has a fracture in the base of her skull. THINK!!! i couldnt beleive it. we stayed in overnight hoping to find out more the next day. she had another CT scan much to her disgust and yes it was a fracture so she had to be very careful. but that night she was walking around and jumping off the hospital bed! i couldnt keep her still! the doctor said we were able to go home the next morning but when he came around that morning he seemed to have forgotten our conversation because then he said he wanted her in for another night!!!!! When ben came up i was beside myself!! so we ended up having a big talk to each doctor and all the nurses. Ben came agutsa with 1 nurse and i did the same thing with another nurse. she told me she knows it is slow but i had to understand we were in a remote area! i had to laugh!! people get sick here too!!
but we are home now finally and she is still being a ratbag. 'but she is a kid and thats what they do' as dad would say lol. we are just happy it wasnt more serious.


Quick note before i sign off im so excited to say CONGRATULATIONS to Naomi and Taren!! They are finally pregnant and I wish them all the best!
