An Apple a Day


9.4.08


We spent Saturday in Urgent Care. Buby had a muscle spasm in his neck and was in pretty severe pain from 4am on. He woke up crying and unable to move his head to the right. Hours later, My Sweets + I were still at his bedside chatting + comforting + evaluating, but we couldn't talk him out of bed. Finally around 10am I think we were able to get him dressed and downstairs to eat something. Then right to Urgent Care, doctor's orders, to rule out a few things. Once we got into a room, we waited. And waited. And waited. Thankfully Buby had grabbed an apple off the table on our way out of the house. Apple = happy diversion. The nurse who weighed him in {at 42 lbs even} said, "Did you pick that apple yourself?" The answer: "Oh, yes, I did." In fact he did. Buby is fine now. He did miss a big pumpkin parade + party he waited all week to attend. Bummer. By the time we left the hospital the Motrin had kicked in and Buby was moving much better. And kept asking, "Can we go to the pumpkin parade now?" Sorry, Bubs. It's over. So we pulled into a local farm on the way home and told him he could pick out a pumpkin, any pumpkin he wanted. That TOTALLY lifted his spirits and ours. He found the "bestest pumpkin ever!" and then went home to relax. Photos coming.

He looked like everything was completely better on Sunday when he was running around, but I'm sorry it had to ruin his Saturday (and I can only imagine how scary it was for Mom and Dad.)

We love you Buby and we're sorry you weren't feeling well on Saturday. I'm sure Mom and Dad will find another fall event for you to attend to make up for it.
