20 Best Tips

CAT Scans and the ER ~ Preschool Corner

I did have things to share this week, but the last few days have been a wee bit out of control and all my intentions of having time blocked off Thursday afternoon and/or evening went out the window when Kaleb fell off a stool  {5 minutes before our family pictures, mind you} and we ended up in the ER needing a CAT scan. So, we did get an ‘inside’ look at the big ol’ machine {Kaleb asked me to videotape it for Zachary…which we did for about 15 seconds to show how well he did}. After the scan, he saw some of the images on the computer ~ pretty fun {especially since it was all good!}.

He now has a lovely shiner and cut that needs some healing, but fortunately nothing is broken. He also has 12 lovely stickers to show for his pain…and a mini dinosaur and rabbit. I’m sure we’ll be billed for those too {grins}.

Other than that, I’ve had a yucky cold, little sleep and am having trouble holding a coherent conversation {just ask my husband}…so it might be best if I held off until another week with our week of Jesse Bear!

  13. How scary!!  I think your little guys must have extra angels assigned to them.  ;-)

    I’m thanking God that the CAT scan turned out to be a memorable learning experience and didn’t reveal anything serious!  

    I also hope that YOU feel better soon and can get some rest!!!

  14. Hospital visits are so scary.  We’ve only had one cat scan so far with all of our ER visits, and it was also a good report.  One of Superman’s favorite toys came from an ER visit.

    • If you could only have heard my attempts at conversations yesterday with my hubby. Seriously laughable. :) I keep stopping mid sentence and don’t have a clue what I’m talking about. It’s been a loooooong week. :)

  31. Glad to hear that Kaleb is doing alright, this happened to my little boy and I was kinda off for a couple days. Our children do know how to scare us:) Looking forward to seeing Kalebs’ beautiful smile next week. Take care and thank you for sharing.

  32. That is scary stuff, and I’m so happy all the news was good. Kids have a special knack for getting hurt around picture time though, don’t they?

  33. {{hugs}} I’m sure that it was scary and relieved to read that he is okay.

    Oh wow!!  Thank God Kaleb is okay!  Maybe time for the doctors and nurses pack? :)

  35. Wow, I’m glad he’s ok.  That’s a scary moment, one that I’m sure he’ll be proud of ;).  Have a great Thanksgiving!
