Another trip to the ER!!!

OK so here we are 6 days from when Allie had to go to the ER and I was back there again!! Not for her this time but instead for her big brother!!! I was upstairs laying down while Allie was taking a nap and I heard John screaming for me to come downstairs. I come running down the steps and Johnny is laying on the couch making almost animal like sounds. John told me that he slipped and fell down the steps. Johnny said that his back really hurt....we called 911 because he was obviously in a tremendous amount of pain. The police and the firetruck got there at the same time. They looked at his back and there was no bruise and no evidence of anything broken. They put some ice on and then Johnny tried to walk...his legs basically crumpled because of the pain. By this point we had cancelled the ambulance because he had said the ice helped. One of the fireman carried him out to the car so that I could drive him to the ER. After a ton of x-rays he is fine....just some sore muscles.
On a much lighter note yesterday was the meet-n-greet at his school. We got to drop off his supplies and he was able to walk throughout the school and meet of the the "special" teachers for gym, music, computer, art, and the library. He loves his room, which is decorated in a pirate theme this year, and can't wait to start on Monday!! The big questions is if John and I are ready for him to start.
