Big Scare

On Monday night, Drew had a bad episode. He was waiting for his coat to go on a walk, his eyes rolled back and he quickly became unresponsive. He was lifeless and blue around the mouth. It was a scary situation. I called 911, my Dad stayed with Drew to check on his breathing ( it was very shallow and difficult to even tell if he was breathing) and Brian ran to get our neighbor who is an EMT. Our neighbor Mike quickly came and began rescue breaths until the ambulance arrived. Drew was rushed to our hospital where he was stabilized and then transported to our Children's Hospital. We spend some time in the ER, then we were admitted. After extensive tests it was determined that Drew did not have a seizure, just a severe drop in blood pressure which resulted in his heart slowing down. As of right now we have no idea what caused it, and if it will happen again. Drew has proven again that he is a fighter. He is now back to himself and it is his family that is trying to return back to normal after this horrible scare! We will have a follow up appointment on Tuesday with his Cardiologist. I hope we can find out more answers.

Rubber Ducks

Last Saturday, I noticed that Leo from the Little Einsteins was floating in the toilet. When I asked the boys why Leo was in the toilet, Drew replied "he's thwimming" (swimming). I knew there was probably more things swimming in the toilet and it had to be investigated. I could not flush the toilet so I called Brian and he came home from work. He had to take apart the toilet and sure enough there was a yellow rubber duck! Then he put the toilet back together and it still would not flush. He took the toilet apart again and this time found a blue rubber duck! William had no problem blowing his little brother in. He said Drew put the ducks in the toilet. We asked Drew if he put the duckies in the toilet and he replied "yup". After a quick assessment of all the bath toys, we feel confident that we have retrieved everything from the toilet. Drew never makes things dull.
