The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

According to Luke, Alexander didn't have anything to complain about because at least he didn't end up in the emergency room. But the way I see it, if you fall out of a tree and end up the E.R., but it turns out you just have a (Pause because Jack is throwing up. And... I'm back.) bruise and a flesh wound, then hey, it's a good day. Well, that's what I was going to say before I cleaned up a bunch of vomit.

What happened? Luke fell out of an apple tree and landed on a stump or something. I had my back to the tree, so I didn't see it, and that seemed to make the nurse think I was a terrible mother. Luke wished Aunt Beth was a nurse at the hospital and I did too! He got the wind knocked out of him when he fell and he was pretty scared and upset, and he said it hurt to breathe. So off we went. X-Rays showed that everything was fine. I had imagined canceling the whole summer of camp and swimming lessons and soccer and just laying around healing, but instead they said to take it easy for a few days, and no tree climbing for 6-7 days at least. Totally doable!

As for Jack, I think we'll have to see how the rest of the night goes! Wish us luck!

So which one of you was vomiting?
Glad there were no serious injuries.

I just saw that I had a little aside about Jack throwing up in brackets that disappeared. I added that part in. So Jack is the one who is throwing up. On me. Twice now.
