A Visit to the Hospital...

So, as I mentioned in my last post, Luke & Brady got into some medicine while we were at the Allen's house for our family Christmas. We rushed them to the closest hospital as soon as we found out. When we got to the hospital we were told that both boys needed to drink charcoal and would be monitored for a few hours then get to go home. About an hour later the doctor came back in and told us that we would have to transfer the boys to Herman Children's Hospital's ICU to be monitored for 24 hours due to the fact that the medicine they took was a slow release pill.

Both boys were transported by ambulance at 2:00am to the Children's Hospital where they were closely watched. Unfortunately, part of this whole process included getting IVs put in their hands and EKG tests run every two hours. NO FUN!

Praise God that the next day they were both released to go home with no major side effects. Although this was a pretty traumatic even for all of us, it could have been so much worse. We are so thankful for God looking out for our two sweet boys.

Here are two pictures Erin took with her camera the day we got to go home.

The boys had separate rooms in the hospital. I stayed with Brady & Caleb stayed with Luke. Once we were out of the crucial point, the nurses let Luke & Caleb come over to our room to watch movies while we were waiting to be released.

This was definitely a Christmas none of us will ever forget.
