SHE'S HERE!!!!!

We waited all day for her to show up!

Elsie Rose was pretty close to hyperventilating when Emmy showed up.

It will be a fun time to have her here....I hope Em is prepared to be mauled over the next few days!!!

*****

Elsie had another rough night......but she did get enough sleep that I felt like she could go to school and be okay today.

But I was dragging!

After dropping Elsie off, Port and I headed to Craft warehouse to use a 40% off coupon.

Cassi's birthday is coming up.....and I kinda wanted to put together a quilt top for her birthday.

I found some cute fabric.....

Port was awesome....and I even took him out in only underwear....and he was doing awesome!

As we headed out the door, he started to cry.

Crying a lot and holding his throat.

I thought maybe he had a sore throat or something.

He calmed down and I continued on with my to-do list and went to Walmart.

As soon as we got in the store he cried more.

It was a weird cry....not his normal cry.

He held his neck....and it seemed to be only one side.

I felt so bad for him and didn't know what to do.

I didn't finish my shopping list, but had to check out, cause I had opened a chocolate milk for him, bought some ibuprofen to give him and promised him a Cars phone in trying to calm him down.

Don't judge.....I didn't know what to do.

I had people looking at me like "How can you let that kid act that way"

But he was really in pain....I felt like crying myself....(remember, I was tired too.)

I got checked out, and tried to give him some medicine.

He started to take it, but once he had to tip his head to drink it, he stopped.

It hurt too bad to tip it.

I started to think it might be a kinked neck....but then I worried about maybe his collar bone, or something else that could be serious.

So I tried to call the Dr office to see if they had an opening.

I had no more minutes left on my phone.

I didn't want to head home, cause I had to pick Elsie up soon....

So I just headed to the Dr office in hopes of them taking a walk-in.

I was lucky.

Our regular Dr couldn't see us, but there was a dr there doing paper work who agreed to see us.

After a while of checking him out and playing around with him we determined that it was most likely his neck and not his throat.

Seems all kind of silly for a kinked neck....but if you had never had one, you can imagine how bad it would hurt, right?

Anyway....we got Elsie, got home.

I made him a little rice heat pack (out of some Cars fabric he also talked me into...)

Then I put him down for his nap.

He slept good.....but woke up really grumpy.

He took it easy the rest of the day.

Hopefully he will feel better tomorrow.

Looking at his neck, you could see a bulging muscle on his neck...poor kid.
