Cassie and the Boys

The WORST blizzard ever!!!

So today was one of the worst days of my life. So Cam has been really really sick and we have been going back and forth to the doctors clinic. Yesterday I went and they told me to get 3 stool samples from my little 10 month old with the bad poops (Can I write that on a blog???) Anyways, so he was so bad today that I called the Dr. and he said to take him directly to the emergency room. So I looked outside and thought what am I going to do it is snowing SSSOOO bad! So I got Cam (the baby noodle) and packed him up and headed for the elevator I knew it was bad when I got to the elevator and the guy coming off the elevator said I hope your not leaving because I couldn't even get out of the parking garage there is so much ice and snow. I thought to myself buddy you must not know that I am already on the verge of tears because I have to take my little guy to the ER and I can't take much more. I could loose it at any second! So I got Cam in the car and said a little prayer. I opened the garage door backed up and hit the gas SUPER hard and up the hill I went (thank goodness for 4 wheel drive). I got to the top and then looked around and I couldn't see anything but white. I knew I had to get all the way to Elkhorn (30 minutes away) so off I went. I pulled out on the road and I couldn't see and inch of road or grass of anything that resembled where the car should be at....so I thought it's snowing really hard and I can't see out the window why not stick my head out the window to get an idea of where I should be.....not the best idea....I got a BIG mouth full of snow and I couldn't open my eyes because the wind was blowing super hard. So I went down the road and at the second stop sign I stopped and realized I was so far off the road I was on the opposite side of the road (yeah the wrong lane!). I went on and on and on and this is when I start cursing big fields where the snow blows through and creates huge drifts. It was the scariest time of my life. There were cars and semi's and trucks in the ditch (even police cars) I finally get to Elkhorn and pry my hands off the driving wheel and call my doctors clinic to see if I can take him there. After and hour and a half (usually it takes 30 minutes to get to Elkhorn) It's snowing SO bad they closed the doctors clinic (yeah bet they don't do that in Arizona Beth!) so I talked to my doctor and he says take him to the ER. I take him there with my mom and dad (because Chris is at work). They put him in a papuse and hook him up to an IV and he screams as they can't find his vein and try the other side and take some blood as long as they are there. While I am in the hall ready to cry again! They said that the roads were to bad to take him to Childrens Hospital in Milwaukee so they treated them (thanks!) After hours and hours they finally got him well enough to come home. So here I am bloggin' about it (maybe a little venting too) so you can all share my wonderful day. Did I mention I HATE snow!!! I don't even know how many times today I thought I was going to die driving in the snow! Anyway now I have a baby boy who feels a lot better and a little teddy bear from a sweet nurse at the Hospital (hopefully they won't charge me for that too!) and I am about to eat LOTS of pizza and treats to make it all better!
