Ambulance Rides and more!

So as I mentioned before Jeff is off to New York for the week. Of course, just about everytime he leaves town either one of the kids get sick or something else crazy happens. Well, it happened. On Tuesday we met one of our new friends at her private pool. It had a high dive, low dive and slide. The girls were very excited about the diving boards and slide, as we do not have those things at our pool here at home. Well we got to the pool and my friend said that kids under 8 were not allowed on the high dive. Well, Bayley was crushed. She had talked about the high dive all week long. After watching several kids about her size and not as good of swimmer as she was, I finally told her it would be all right for her to try to high dive out. I doubt anyone would have said a thing had there not been an accident! Well, I watched Bayley start climbing the stairs up the high dive, then turned my head to check on one of the kids when I heard a loud crash and scream. Bayley had fallen off of the stairs! I ran over and asked about her head and immediately she said her back hurt. By that time the lifegaurds arrived and after conversing with Bayley we realized that she just peeked her head over the top of the board when she fell, which means she fell at least 8 feet. Well, the lifegaurds said that they had to call 911 because the of the heigth of the fall and that we were not to move her at all. Bayley calmed down rather quickly but continued to say that her back hurt. The paramedics came and said that they had to to take her to the hospital because of the heigth of the fall and because of possibility of a back injury. So Bayley was immobilized on a backboard and with a neck brace and taken the hospital in ambulance. Trey and I followed in the car...for those of you wondering, I was completely calm through the entire thing. I KNEW she was going to be all right, despite the definite scare. At the hospital after being seen by the doctor he ordered back x-rays and a catscan. Well, that is when things slowed down. It took them almost 1 1/2 hours before they got her x-rayed and about another 1 1/2 hours before they got the catscan done. In all Bayley was in on the backboard completely immobilized for almost 4 hours...I will be complaining to the hospital. Towards the end Bayley said her back felt fine and she only wanted off the backboard. Another doctor came in and let her get up...at which point she began dancing! I told her maybe she should chill just a little bit given the fact she arrived in an ambulance. We are so blessed that everything was fine. We learned some very important lessons through the whole thing...the importance of rules, always pack a couple of extra diapers, a bottle, and a pacifier...even for those short trips (Trey survived the emergency room experience, but just barely) and that Heavenly Father really does answer prayers. Other than that we have had a pretty calm week. We are ready to get Jeff home...we are picking him up at the airport this afternoon then we are off the Grandma and Grandpa G's. Then we have Stone Mountain tomorrow and then Jeff and I leave Sunday for St. Thomas. I will post pictures and updates when we get back.
