Timeline of an ER tour

6:02 PM Asa rides the wagon down the backyard. He lands in a pile of rocks missing a fence post and saving major head trauma.

6:35 PM Arrive at the ER

6:57 PM Poor elderly lady in waiting room is having severe abdominal pain and vomits

7:24 PM Preliminary evaluation - 54.5#

8:01 PM Moved from Waiting Room to Private Room, socks for Asa's barefeet, meet N.P. Roger and Ms. Beverly

8:10 PM Roger discovers GREEN silly putty remnants from DECEMBER. Roger was sure Asa had tubes. ;o) Back to the ENT

8:20 PM Xray while mom fills out paperwork

8:38 PM C.T. scan of head/eyes. Nice bruiser

9:08 PM Stitches finally. 8 in left forearm + 4 in left pinky = 12 total!

9:34 PM Humpty Dumpty aka Asa put back together again :)

9:59 PM Wait! We missed one last scrape for evaluation by NP Roger

10:05PM Discharge and Good Bye to all our new friends.
We have more detailed photos for not so faint of heart. ;)
We are thankful it wasn't more severe.

Wow, four hours in and out.....not too bad for the ER.

That looks like a nasty cut...it gave me the shivers. I am the faint of heart, so that was enough for me.

I'm so glad he is okay and is doing well. Scary stuff
