My poor little men! (Big Scare)


Today we went to the pediatrician to see how Callum's breathing was doing. He got a full clean bill of health :) While we were there our doctor wanted to just follow up on little Harmon b/c of his fall on Tuesday. I've still been concerned b/c he has been sleeping a lot more than usual and not eating. She was immeadeatly alarmed and after a full exam suspected A BRAIN BLEED!

They scheduled us for a CAT scan for later that afternoon so we just had to wait. I don't really have words to describe the fear I felt. When Chris found out he immeadeatly made sure he was home on time! When we got there for the scan Chris was my hero once again. They had to tape Harmon's head to the board for the scan and Chris had to hold him down. I could just hear poor Harmon SCREAMING from the waiting room. I felt so bad for Harmon that we immeadeatly got him french fries (the forbidden food) from Mickeys after it was all over. I think times like this I realize I am really blessed to have such a caring husband and father in Chris. I couldn't have done this on my own.

Now for the good news!!!! He doesn't have a brain bleed :) He does have a mild concussion and should be fine in a few more days. I am so grateful!!!

Today Callum flunked his 3rd hearing screening. He is having difficulty w/2 of the 4 different frequencies in is left ear. I was talking to our Screener and she is VERY hopeful that this might not be something serious but I'm worried. He had his ears checked for infection and fluid this morning by our AMAZING pediatrician and he is clear. Also this is the 3rd screening... so in June we will be going in for further testing.


I think I've never been happier to see a week end. Tomorrow we were supposed to do March of Dimes in El Paso but we are burnt out. NO WAY! We all just need to rest. We will still go to El Paso but only after sleeping in and making a nice breakfast at home. Needless to say tonight I think we will all be saying some extra long prayers of gratitude.

  2. I am beginnig to think you have gotten more than your fair share of trials in life. That must be because of how amazing you are. Really, I could never do what you have done in your life. I am so glad Harmon will be getting better soon. That is so scary! And thank heavens it is not a brain bleed.
