So on Thursday night I go down stairs to get some ice so I and have a drink and on my way upstairs I hear a loud crash. I drop the ice and start to push my oldest boy out of the way. Cayla is right behind me and we get to my son’s room and find a 50 to 75 lb dresser on top of ZZ. (his real name is Isaac but we call him ZZ) Apparently he had tried to climb up the dresser and pulled it down on top of himself. I found the drawers in all sorts of hard to define angles and a small child screaming. The dresser went for a flight across the room and as I picker ZZ up. Cayla starts to yell call 911 but she is the one with the phone in her hand. So I say “then call them”. She comes to her senses and dials 911 then hands the phone to me. I tell the operator what happened and after a short wait the paramedics show up 3 in an ambulance and 3 in a fire truck. Shortly after that 3 Davis County Sherriff’s officers arrive that also paramedics. A total of 9 strangers in the house thank god it was clean.
The paramedics take a look at ZZ and decide that he needs to be transported. so at 2 years old ZZ gets his first ride in an ambulance. I got my first ride in one also. We arrive at Davis County hospital and they do X-Rays and a CT-Scan. It is decided that he may have upwards of 65% of his left lung bruised and they transport him to the trauma unit at Children’s Primary. Cayla rode down with ZZ this time and I went home to watch the other 2 kids. Thankfully the neighbor was nice enough to come over and see if she could help. By the time I got home Cora was fast asleep and the neighbor was helping pick up the toys that her daughter and David had pulled out.
Cayla calls me about 1100 pm and says that are releasing them to come home and that ZZ will be fine. The trauma doc stated that what the Doc at Davis Hospital saw was the shoulder blade but it was better to make sure everything was ok by a Pediatric Trauma Doc instead of just assuming he was fine. We took ZZ in yesterday just for a follow up and the pediatric doc says the reason he is not eating is jus because the trauma has thrown him off of his game, but he is acting like a 2 year old is suppose to so he should be fine and be back to his terrible self here soon.
So all in all the dresser is now in the closet where it can’t fall and everyone is fine but for a couple of good goose eggs on his head and a lots of bruises all over him.
