[QUOTE="Shari, post: 197310, member: 1848"] Wee difficult child was run over when he was much smaller. *** It was a Sunday, early afternoon, and we had just come back from a camping trip in late fall. It was a cold year, and the campground had closed the shower houses down early, so I had spent all day Saturday standing around a blazing fire, and with no shower house available, needless to say I smelled a bit - um - smoky. My hair was in a pony tai, I was wearing faded blue jeans, a tshirt, and an old sweat shirt. While technically "clean", I reeked of smoke. *** And wee difficult child got run over, and that's how I looked when I walked in to the ER with him. *** The hustle and bustle of that whole process happened, he was transferred to another hospital, and all while I was in my "reeking" clothes. They admitted him to the ICU and he settled in to sleep, but there was no place for me to shower, and no clothes to change into even if I could. So I slept on the cozy little chair and reeked. I bothered myself. *** 30 hours after admit (and about a bazillion prayers and, I'm sure, a miracle, but I digress) he was released and we went home. The first thing I did was flop down in my chair and breathe. And 15 minutes after that, my oldest came flying thru the door with blood gushing from a huge wound above his eye - so for the second time in 31 hours, on a Monday evening, I was zooming to the same ER, having not showered since Friday night, reeking of campfire smoke, wearing the same clothes I had worn on the first trip in. *** They asked me how difficult child was doing (they remembered me - the campfire smoke gave me away...)
