Some Drama for This Momma!

I had an unexpected morning at home because Joe woke up nauseated and vomiting. We had planned to go on a field trip with our homeschool group to a wastewater treatment plant. I decided to send the girls with Amy so they wouldn't miss out. So, while Joe lounged on the couch watching tv I busied myself with all sorts of odds and ends. About the time Joe had been able to keep some Sprite down I get a call from Amy telling me that Grace had either passed out or had a seizure. I pretty much completely freaked out, got Joe's shoes on and rushed out of the house to go get Grace. I took her straight to the ER where we got to see Dr. David (praise God!) and it was determined that she had probably gotten dehydrated and passed out but didn't have a seizure. She hadn't drank anything all morning (my bad!) and then been out in the sun. Hannah later told me that the whole time they were touring the place Grace was complaining of being hot and really thirsty. So, she got a bag of IV fluids and they did some tests and everything came back normal. We were in and out in about 2 hours which is pretty good. Joe got to go home with Uncle Billy, Hannah stayed with Amy, and Aunt Harriet kept Grace and I company in the hospital. It was quite a day and I'm pretty much emotionally and physically exhausted. I just wanted to finish this post and tell the story so now everybody knows it and I won't have to repeat it a million times. :0)
