ER Visit last night.

So, yesterday Bryan woke up with an extremely sore neck -- to the point of tears. I tried icing it, massaging it, motrin -- nothing helped. I called his ped's office just after 5 and waited for a call back but he was begging to go to the hospital because it hurt so bad, so Paul came home and we took him in. It was a long night -- we didn't get out of there til around 8pm. He was starting to feel better so I felt kind of like a heel for bringing him in but the doc didn't let it phase her, just basically said "well, since you're here why don't you tell me about it and let me check it out" so he did, he was presenting as guarding his shoulder and neck which was a clue that something was wrong -- so she felt around he yelped when it hurt -- he had a nasty spasm in his trap (left side) and get this, they use valium (crushed up and added to cherry syrup) as a muscle relaxer for kids... so he drank that down, got a popsicle since he didn't like the taste and slept the night through (after a quick stop at McD in the hospital for his dinner) -- woke up with no pain this morning. Still need to keep up with the motrin for the day and take it kind of easy since he hasn't regained full motion yet but he's getting there and we are heading up to Knott's Berry Farm tonight after Paul's softball game and then a stop in Dana Point for some whale watching on Saturday.
