Jan. 28, 2007 - A SCARE!
Tonight my kids got a personal tour of a fire truck! Let me tell you why....
Daddy was wrestling with the boys, turned his back for a brief moment and "wham", Zach pounced on Ethan with great force, causing Ethan to scream bloody murder. Daddy laid Ethan down on his back on the floor to make sure he was okay and, all of a sudden, blood started GUSHING from his nose. I am not exaggerating - there was blood EVERYWHERE! It wouldn't have seemed so bad, but Ethan was screaming and seemed to be in great pain.
Because of the amount of blood, coupled with the pain Ethan was experiencing, Daddy called 911 while I applied pressure to his nose to try to stop the bleeding. He grimaced in pain every time I even slightly moved my hand. Grandpa and I prayed over Ethan and as we prayed he INSTANTLY calmed down and the bleeding stopped!! Of course the paramedics arrived just as we finished praying over Ethan and he was just fine! Just a bloody nose, thank God!!
So.... the firemen asked the kids if they wanted to see the fire truck! Of course... They were so excited! They got to go inside the truck to see all the "cool" stuff.
On our way back inside the house, Josh looked at Daddy and with much dissapointment said, "Daddy, I not see fire!" The little guy thought the fire truck was on fire!!
