The Longest Weekend

We took Jack to the Emergency Room yesterday. He has been sick for about 5 days now and yesterday he started having really bad intestinal cramps. Every 15 minutes or so he would scream out in pain ,plus his stomach was rock hard, so we called the Dr. and she said to take him right in saying he could have an twisted intestine or something. So we rushed down there (Thanks mom for watching Stella!!) and waited 5 hours. Wait did I just say 5 hours? O-yes I did...FIVE HOURS. 5 hours of Jack in pain, 5 hours of not so sick looking people going ahead of us, 5 hours of us reminding them we were there. Finally we came to our senses and left to go to a different ER where we were seen in about 30 minutes. In hour 4 of our ordeal Jack's fever had broken and he had stopped screaming in pain every few minutes, we were torn between just going home and continuing on. We figured it was better safe than sorry so stayed on our course. It turned out Jack was fine, he's just sick, no twisted intestine, just bad cramps. I'm glad we went though, it could have been something bad. We are all so tired today, the kids are still sick, but I can tell they are getting better. Hope you all are doing well, I havn't been able to spend much time on the computer. I look forward to catching up with you all when I can .
