Eventful Midnight Hour

So, last night we had very eventful early morning hours...and it wasn't because of Mae. Jason actually fell asleep on the couch after dinner and then woke up around 11:30 to get some water before heading to bed. Apparently, he got up too quickly and gulped down too much water and ended up passing out. He fell pretty hard and hit his head either on the counter or stove and made the absolute loudest noise. I was up with Mae about to feed her and ran into the kitchen to find him lying on the floor and the back of his head covered in blood. Needless to say, I was screaming and scared but he came to after only a few seconds and we made our way to the emergency room. Thankfully Julie is still here and could stay with Mae all night since we didn't get home from the hospital until 5 am.

Jason had lots of tests run and everything looks fine. The doctor said sometimes you can just faint like that. He did have to have 16 stitches since he cut his head pretty good-- it's about a 3 inch horiztonal gash in the middle of the back of his head. We are so thankful that's all that it is though.

It was very scary and made for an eventful night...and such a great Valentine's Day:) If you're interested I have pictures but I won't post them here....

  1. Oh my goodness! What a crazy night. Jason and Carey both need to be careful when gulping water :) I want to see the pictures! Glad Jason is ok though. I'm telling you - this parenthood thing can really wear you out!
