MinnesotanMommy's Journal

What a day already, and we're only into the early afternoon! This morning around 6:30 I'm sitting at the computer and Carl comes in with Ethan in his arms! I was freaked when I heard this coughing kinda choking sorta sound coming from Ethan and here he'd walked out of our wood room to go help Carl bring in wood this morning and he slipped on the ice and nailed straight into the door on his way down and his nose was so red and he couldn't sit or lay down by himself, we had to help him cuz he was in so much pain, and his nose hurt and his head hurt. I called my chiropractor for advice (he gives free medical advice and he's good!) and he said to take Ethan to the doctor because he'd passed out for like 20 seconds and we needed to make sure he didn't have a concusion or anything worse. So we had to go out in a snow storm (like not even 1/4 mile visability people!) and drive him to the ER. I called our clinic and the nurse said to take him to the ER since he'd passed out after his fall. So we drove to the ER and got there, they did a standard check up of him for someone who had a head injury and then they ordered a head scan and that came back normal and for the most part he's back to normal. They gave us a slip with symptoms to watch for in the next 24 hours. He's a bit on the tired side on and off, but overall he's okay at least. We're just keeping an eye on him when he does fall asleep, but he doesn't sleep long when he does fall asleep anyhow. He's not sleeping much, but he does go through periods where he acts more tired then others. We got our state return back so while we were at Walmart (I just had to go see my friend who works there while we had to get milk anyhow!) we got a few things we needed and I got a few candles. Carl didn't want to and I told him either I get cheap good smelly sniffs or I get expensive Party Lite ones. LOL. He agreed with me then. Haha! Well, I walked around in Walmart enough today that I am counting it as exercise. I also think I'm having an allergic reaction to my cat. I was fine and then I started to itch where she was rubbing her head (against the bottom of my face) and when I woke up this morning that spot still itches some and my entire face turned red! I hope its not my cat! I also have had two instances where my eyes acted as if they were having an allergic reaction and I used my allergy eyedrops on the eye that was affected each time and it cleared up. When I lay in bed my eye that is against the pillow will water and get itchy sometimes. I see my allergist tomorrow actually (weather permitting) so I'll ask him about it being my allergy testing didn't show an animal allergy when he had me tested a number of years ago. I think this is an allergic reaction to her though. I'm fine if I only pet her, but when she rubs against my face now I seem to be reacting. I'm not sure what's up. Whatever it is, I'm annoyed and I'll just cry if its my cats! I won't put them out cuz I can manage this reaction very easily as long as she doesn't touch my face! Its certainly annoying though! Anyhow, we're going to watch a movie on Dish (Kung Fu Panda) in about an hour, so I should get going and maybe even do something besides throwing laundry in the washer and dryer!
