Two Trips to the ER this Week!

Our first trip to the ER with Austin (or any of the three) was this past Wednesday evening. On Tuesday, getting out of the shower, Austin fell and hit his chin on the shower seat. After getting it to stop bleeding, a band-aid on, they put him to bed. After school on Wed., it still looked "bloody", so the nurse at WCH recommended Becky take him in. We met out at Brannon's Crossing at the Central Baptist Urgent Treatment. After the doctor checking it out, she decided we should take him on to the Pediatric ER at UK. We went, and after waiting there, the doctor made the decision that, although it could take a couple (or three) stitches, he would put in the little Sterial "strips". Out and home by 8:00 or thereafter. Jason had a meeting in Woodford Co. until about the time we got home, and Clyde had framing here with three different jobs. So, it was me, Becky and Austin.

Then on Sat. night, mom got home from a day at Renfro Valley with the church group, and found Kent in a bad way. He had been sick all day but by the time she got home, he was unresponsive. She called and I went right over and after that Bev. & family arrived. It was everyone's decision to call the life saving squad. They took him to UK, and immediately they hooked him up to an IV, which was putting fluid in him (badly needed). Then they did a CAT scan, EKG, and found his potassium was extremely low. They are taking care of each of these needs so he will likely go home tomorrow. Now, the work begins to see if Kent will seek help to get over this illness. Prayers please for this need!
