What a Day!

Wednesday morning I took the kids with me to a 2-hour Primary presidency meeting at someone else's house. As we were leaving, Joshua pulled a console table over, and it fell on top of him. Everything that was on the table came crashing down, including a wrought-iron basket that landed on Joshua's head.

Here's a picture of some of the damage (taken the next day):


I took the kids home, fed Kara lunch (Joshua refused to eat and was very lethargic), and was debating whether to take Joshua to the doctor's when Brian called, requesting that I come pick him up from work and take him to the ER because he was choking on a carrot. So, we all went down there (by the time we got to work, the carrot had gone down), and went to the ER where we waited for the next 4.5 hours. (Brian was referred to a gastroenterologist; he'll be seeing him this Thursday to have a probe stuck down his throat. Joshua quickly came back to his usual self, so we ruled out concussion and didn't have him seen.) Then we got to drive all the way home in rush-hour traffic. I quickly threw together some dinner and then rushed off to go visiting teaching. I think Wednesday was the longest day of my life (and definitely in the bottom three)! I'm sure glad it's over and everyone survived.
