day 5 beach and ambulance tour to the hospital.

Just as that picturesque beach trip was coming into it's final hours......
along came a loud CRASH and screaming from the kids room.
i ran down there and mccoy was laying on the floor with the chest of drawers on top of him and the tv(not a flat screen) on half of his head. the second i picked him up, blood was EVERYWHERE. i ran down the hall with him to get jason and to call 911.  he had a deep gash all down the back of his head that was bleeding like crazy and a bloody nose.

The story from liza was that he climbed into one of the drawers and then everything fell over. mccoy says "dat tv fell on my head and OUCH!"

jason wanted to just drive to the hospital cause he thought it would get us there faster but he didn't know where it was so he said he was calling "the realtors office" well he ended up accidentally calling "stinky's fish house" and took about 5 min trying to explain to the girl at stinky's where we were and then how he should get to the hospital...haha, only jason! ;). after a few words from me (and mccoy started to get a little sleepy) he finally got the message that i wanted him to call 911. ;)
the ambulance got there and they were so sweet with mccoy and got us right to the hospital where his CT scan looked good and they stapled that head right back together! ;)
(the nurses told us the emt guys had called back up to the hospital to check on mccoy, so sweet!)
i was covered in blood when we got there so the hospital gave me some complimentary scrubs! ha!

 it took 4 of us to hold him down and liza was sitting in the chair next to the bed. she kept turning around and would just stare at the dr putting the staples in. i kept kicking her chair to turn back around (because i didn't want her to get sick) and she just wanted to watch! we may have a future dr on our hands!
as soon as we were released we raced back home and threw everything in our bags and ran to the airport so we wouldn't miss our flight! phew! the condo probably looked like a crime scene because we were in such a hurry and didn't have time to clean everything up.
 since then mccoy has pretty much acted like it never even happened! it is amazing how these littles bounce back so fast! it hurts when we lay him back for diaper changes but that is about it!
i took this pic last night..you can barely see all the staples with his hair so long. they kept saying, wow! he has a ton of hair! There are 8 total!

we are VERY grateful that this was an easy fix and nothing worse! very very grateful! ;)
