First trip to the E.R.

Last Friday evening, we were going about our business. Owen was playing with one of his favorite toys. He had pulled himself up next to it and was pushing buttons when all of a sudden there was this big BANG followed by crying (which is all still normal), Owen falls all the time while playing with that toy. Brad picked him up to comsole him and Owen's body went limp, then he proceded to vomit all over Brad. This was not just a little bit of vomit and Owen was not acting like himself. We called the doctor and they said to take him to the emergency room. On the way there Owen continued to vomit a couple of more times. Needless to say this was one of my scariest moments as a mom. 

We made it to the hospital and Owen had a fever of 102 degrees. They gave him some tylenol and some medicine to stop the vommiting. The doctors kept us in the ER for 4 hours to monitor him and after a short nap Owen was pretty much back to normal. The doctors wanted us to keep an eye on him for the next 48 hours to make sure he continued to act like himself.

We took this picture before we left the hospital once we were more confident that our babe was okay.
