Emergency Room Again
Last Friday while eating dinner Riley came to me and said; “The light-truck is in my belly”. WHAT!? I had no idea what he was trying to say (repressing what I really did know). I asked him to get the truck he was talking about. He rummages through the mass of toys and bring over a large Matchbox type truck with one headlight missing. I asked him; “Where is the light Riley?”, “In my belly papa, I’m sorry”, he replies. This happened at 7:05pm. He said he did it during nap which was between 2pm and 5pm.
After calling his doctor’s after hours line three times I finally get a callback (one and a half hours later!). They suggested to take him in for X-Rays. I was too late to take him to the immediate care place so downtown we went to Children’s hospital, again!
When we arrived the place was packed! Three hours later there was us and another … family left in the waiting room. Getting to talk to the doctor she told us that there was no way the light would show up on an X-Ray (I ripped off the other light from the truck to show them the size and shape). Told me to look for blood or pain and sent us away. I thought that was what triage was for!?
He is fine and and no signs of blood or pain. His doctor saw him this Monday too and was not worried at all.
