The NIGHTMARE :(


 Cubby Monkey to the rescue
 Ella being goofy eating ice


 Poor guy slept through his first and hopefully last ambulance ride.

 The nurses gave Landon this nerf gun after torturing him with the IV :(
 Thanks daddy for Bumblebee..starting to cheer up!
 Watch out neurosurgeons that made me get in an IV in my hand!
 Auntie Bridge and Keenan brought me this cool toy to the hospital
We were just leaving SunSplash after 7 hours of swimming and playing.  Mommy the photographer, had a great idea of taking a quick pic by the pirate ship out front.  Landon climbed up on a rock about 2 ft tall and lost balance and fell backwards on his back but his head flew back on the cement. After calming him down we rushed him over to the Emergency room in Gilbert to have him checked out.  Even though the nurses' thought he looked great, the doctor ordered him to have a CT scan.  After 30 long minutes of waiting the results finally came back showing a skull fracture. Landon was then transferred by ambulance to a Phoenix hospital and placed in peds. ICU.  The neurosurgeons wanted to monitor him for another 24 hours to make sure there was no bleeding to the brain.  He is one lucky and tough little boy.  We are very blessed that he was able to return home the following day.  Now we just have to follow the doctor's orders of NO swimming, sports, bike or scooter rides for 3 MONTHS! Trust me November can't come soon enough!

  1. Glad nothing serious. He looks so tiny in that big hospital bed. No swimming in Arizona? Really? That should be impossible.
