Hanging at the hospital

by Sandra Williams

Bandaids: Daniel WildmanMy son was freaking me out with these piercing pains in his stomach so I took him to the hospital last night. We hung out for a few hours making small talk with several interesting people. A couple guys looked like they cut their hands up good and we saw two pregnant women go in and out.

A professor told us all about the water buffalo and how tough they are. It was actually quite interesting. They do have a lot of wild animals to fight off so no wonder they’re good scrappers.

One little boy was bitten on the face by a dog. He looked like he was only about a year and a half old. He kept bleeding but it wasn’t fizzing on him at all. I think he ended up needing a stitch or two but the dog just missed his eye.

We got there at 8:30pm and didn’t get home until 5:00am. I moved my chair to line up with his cot and had a bit of nap resting my head at the foot of his bed. They looked him over and tested his urine, blood and then finally sent us home when the tests came back normal. We still don’t know what the heck it is but it’s not his appendix and hopefully it will pass soon.

  • I meant to give you the heads up on this contest yesterday but you know how mom’s schedules get interrupted. There’s a Super Cool Super Mom Type A One Year Anniversary Contest going on at Type A Mom. Kelby’s giving away some great stuff like flash drives, jewelry, planners and bedding.
