Lately, I have been going to bed pretty late.....actually really late. Being that I have a 3 month old and 15 month old...that is probably not a great idea to stay up late because I end up getting up several times a night. I have been soooo tired this past week. Well, last night, I vowed to be in bed by 10pm. The kids were all settled and I got my pajamas on. I nursed the baby and was just getting ready to go to sleep....and it wasnt even 10 yet. I was doing great!!! Well, I usually talk to my husband before I go to bed. Tonight was no exception. But when I got on the phone with him.....he told me he had to go to the doctor becaus he cut his leg pretty bad. Uh....ok. Do I need to pick you up??? He said yes. So...I got the kids and myself quickly ready. I got dressed but left ALL the kids in their pajamas. I called my husband once more. My husband said he coudlnt talk long because he felt weak and that they were now going to be taking him in an ambulance. Ummmm....how bad is this "cut" honey!?!?! As I am getting ready, I get another phone call from his boss. But I just talked to my husband a minute ago?!?!?! He told me they were taking him in an AMBULANCE to the hospital and that he was in SHOCK from getting cut. How big is this cut?!?!? THey said at least 3 inches. Hmm....pretty good size. He asked me if I was going to meet him at the hospital. Yup...I told him I was on my way as soon as I got my husband some clean pants and socks. I thought it would be a good idea for him to have some clean clothes...especially since they told me they cut off his pants. So....off we head to the hospital to meet my husband. I knew he was fine, but I really had no idea what to expect......I thought I was going to see a pretty hefty sized cut on my poor husbands leg.....and maybe a decent amount of blood. After all, they deemed it necessary to take him in an ambulance. Well, I get to the hospital and they directed me to his room. Here is my husband with BOTH pants legs still on.....but a BIG hole cut in his right thigh area....lots of gauze covering the site. Being me....I lift the gauze to take a look....about a 1.5 inch cut. No where near what they were saying....Praise the Lord!!! After cleaning his leg and getting some stitches, we were on our way home.
It was quite an evening though.....I really had no idea what to expect when I got to the hospital. I knew he was fine....but they all made it seem like it was worse than it truly was. I am just thankful that the Lord protected him.........and that although he has some stitches, he will be just fine!!!! Maybe tonight I will again try to get to bed early....because last night was a long night....we didn't get to bed until early this morning. All said in humor though...no complaints. I would stay up every night for my husband.
Thank you God for protecting my husband!!!!

Oh Kristi,
I know this is not funny as Josh, our son was injured...but Josh has had a lifetime of getting weak at the smallest things...getting shots he could almost pass out..this big ole' tough guy...wooo I just talked to him and I am glad he is okay..and hope you get some sleep.

I am so glad he is all right. We have had some pretty scarey cuts before but God always takes care of my husband. It has taken me many years to realize that God will take Tom when he is ready whether I want him to or not!
