Tyler's Ambulance Ride

Well, here we are in the E.R. with Tyler for the first time. He was playing in my bedroom and I called for him to come clean up some toys he left on the floor in the living-room. He didn't come to me so I went to look for him. He came out of the bathroom crying. He had washed his hands so I didn't see any blood but he asked for a band-aid. I asked Tyler where he was hurt and he showed me his thumb. I asked him how he did that and he show me blood all over the floor. Then I looked closer and saw Todd EpiPen under the bed. Tyler had shot it into his thumb nail and it went all the way through his finger!! I freaked out because I didn't know what that medicine would do to a little boy. I called 911 because I would have taken to long to hear back from his doctor. I told them what had happen and they say they were sending an ambulance right away. The paramedics arrived in about two minute. They asked me to bring him down to the ambulance so I did. They started monitoring him right away. They told me he need to go to the ER because it could restrict the blood vassals in his finger he could lose his thumb if it wasn't treated quickly. Well, from the lack of any abnormal vital the doctor and nurses think that Tyler didn't get much of the medicine in his finger. They think it sprayed out once it had passed through his finger. They had an x-ray done just to make sure the needle didn't break off, or that he didn't break any bone. That EpiPen is huge and the needle is spring load because it is made to be able to go through clothing! Tyler is doing great now, but it was a little scary when it happened. God was looking out for our little guy today and even got him a ride in an ambulance:-). Tyler alway points them out to me when we are driving and has a toy one that he LOVES.


This is a picture of him in the ER with all of the toys they brought him to play with and watching the little TV. It is on an arm and he could move it where ever he wanted it. At lease we were already close to our deductible from Hailey's ER trip earlier this year. Way to be on the same page kids:-).
