Well...Spring Break started today at 4:30 AM with a THUD! I seriously thought that someone was breaking into our house. When I reached over to tell Ro to woke up and "go gettum", he was not there. I noticed a light coming from the little bath by our room. I thought that Ro just dropped something in there. Then I heard another THUD. I thought. Hmmm...that is really weird. I sat up and as I was doing so, Ro came out of the bathroom. He was holding onto the door frame and he said, "I think I just passed out." WHAT! Seriously. That was the THUD I heard. I was quickly getting out of bed as he was saying that he thought he was going to pass out again. I caught him just in time to help him to the ground.
Honestly, seeing him lay on the floor, almost life-less was awful. I just screamed at him. "wake up! wake up! what am I supposed to do? wake up! do I call 911. damn it! wake up!" Then he came to and said, "I think you need to call 911." Good lord. I grab the phone, come back to check him, and he is bleeding under his neck. What? AH! He told me that he hit something and he was bleeding. I finally figure out he hit the bone right by his eye brow and he had a gash that was bleeding. Mind you, he got up to go pee, but never went. I quickly figure out that he remembers getting to the toilet but then only remembers waking up on the floor. He wondered why he fell asleep in the bathroom. He got to the sink and started to try to wash off the blood. Then I am guessing that he passed out again (hence the 2nd thud). He does not remember that one. Then he just remembers waking up on the floor between our room and the bathroom.
Anyway, I call 911 and they are heading my way. I also manage to wake up my sister and Brooke. I just needed someone to come over to listen for the kids. Oh...it is only about 4:40 AM now. Yep. All of this happened in about 10 minutes. Ro was completely responsive and alert when the paramedics got here. Kheang came over to listen for the kids and I went to the hospital. Mike joined me at the hospital to listen to the medical verbage, but Ro was fine when we got there.

He got the whole work up today! In all, Ro got 5 nice stitches, 2 blood draws, CT scan (to check for any bleeding in the brain), EEG (to check for any seizure activity), a stress test (which he actually ran at a 15 incline for 5 minutes...seriously...who does that on a good day??), and MANY blood pressure readings. Overall diagnosis. We don't know. They discharged him at 3:00 (10 hours after arriving) and told him not to go to work for a week or drive a car for 3 months. What? Not drive for 3 months. AH!

My prognosis...He is stressed and he isn't saying anything about it. He works too many hours. He doesn't play enough. We just run, run, run and we are constantly on the move. We need to slow down and enjoy life. Staying busy all the time is for the birds.

(I just thought this picture was cute. This is D when he fell asleep in his carseat tonight. He just pulled his lovey over his head and went to sleep. Wish I could have done that today! Oh! Notice D's shorts. Today was his first day to wear shorts...it was such nice weather today and he wanted to get a little sun on his white legs!

BTW...As if Ro hasn't already driven me crazy enough today...he is home trying to help get the kids to bed, fixing bottles and preparing for tomorrow, doing dishes, etc. I seriously just yelled at him and I told him I would give him a matching goose egg on the other eye if he doesn't watch out! Now, I have to edit my spring break to-do list to include Mr. Murthy. Oh man. This spring break is going to be like no other!
