"Unexpected" after-thoughts

it was really scary for me holding him during a seizure
then the 911 person telling me there is nothing I can do but hold him

we had a house full at the time. Two classmates from Becky's call were over playing.
The boys had just finished playing with legos in the living room. And they all were in the middle of a treasure hunt game that Carolann and I had made for them with clues all over the house.

So he we are
a house full of kids running all over,
a police officer, 2 firemen, 3 paramedics in our living room
working on James while navigating thru a sea of legos
:-)
kinda comical

All the emergency personnel were so nice and understanding,
a little awkward working 0n such a little boy but
they knew exactly what needed to be done and how best to help.

while James and I were in the ambulance and in the hospital, Carolann was home with our kids and Becky's 2 classmates Asja and Shaina. Asja's mom and Shaina's dad were of great support to Carolann.
It's amazing how God works through people you'd never guess.

in the ER, the staff was great.
there is one ironic thing that just amazed me then and still does.
James' ER nurse was very overweight and had trouble walking.
That just didn't fit in the ER setting.
She was a wonderful nurse and was very sympathetic with James during the times they had to draw blood and swab his nose.

James and I did a lot of waiting there in the ER.
Waiting for test results. Waiting for the temp to go down.
So we got to watch TV.
Star Trek the Next Generation, my favorite and it kept James happy
Maybe one day he'll be a Trekkie like daddy.
We also watched:
- a documentary on Iwa Jima
- One Man's Wilderness, An Alaskan Odyssey
- a documentary on Teotihuacan: city of gods
all amazing shows, I learned a lot.
We, the USA, lost a lot of men at Iwa Jima and the Japanese fought valiantly.
One man, Dick Proenneke, built a cabin alone and lived in the wilderness.
