A&E

Yesterday was just like any other day. It was mostly unproductive, just staying home, tidying, doing laundry, the usual mundane stuff.

Hubs took princess to art class, after which, they went out to dinner. I didn't join them.

Imagine my shock when I got a call from the restaurant to say that he had a fall and cut his head. And they had called the ambulance. Aly, I know now how you felt, although your pain is a million times worse than mine. I didn't know head or tail and thought that he had tripped over something and fallen over and cut his head.

I rushed down to the restaurant and the ambulance had already arrived. It was really like a scene out of a drama... the ambulance, the paramedic, and the crowds of people. They couldn't accommodate us both and so after finding out where they were taking him, princess and I rushed off to the hospital in a cab. The poor girl started crying upon seeing me and she was very worried for her daddy. I asked her what happened and being in shock, she couldn't tell me.

It wasn't till we were halfway there and she had calmed down quite a bit that she was able to relate the events to me. Apparently, he had finished his dinner and was waiting for her to finish hers. He had just made a phone call and then next minute fell over backwards from the chair and hit his head. She was too shocked to cry and only till daddy had been helped back up on a chair did she cry, she said. And many people were helping him. Thank you to the many people there who went to his aid. And also the manager (I presume), who called me and helped take care of my little one.

She's extremely worried about daddy and very upset that he hurt his head. So when grandma came to join us in the hospital and wanted to take her to get some snacks, she left me with instructions that if daddy was wheeled out while she was gone, I had to call grandma on her phone and they will be back to see him. Can't believe that she's only 6. And when doctor wanted to ask her questions as to what happened, she was so confident in relating the story to her. I felt so proud. Also said that I should have brought her wallet along so she could help pay the hospital bills. How sweet is that? It just melted my heart.

He was given 4 stitches on the head and many tests were done. All came back with good results so now they are trying to find out what exactly caused it. He's under observation in the hospital and so far, they suspect it was low blood pressure.

So, FIL, MIL, SIL, sis, k & a, etc, this was what happened and we'll just see what the other test results show. Please continue to pray for him, my prayer warriors, and thank you all.
