a first.

Zachary had a 'first' today. First trip to the emergency room. Let's 'interview' Zach to see how it went.

Mom (me!): How was the emergency room Zach?

Zach: I don't remember.

Mom: This is going to be short. I gave you Lactose-free milk since you are allergic to lactose and you had a severe allergic reaction. Rash and hives all over, hard to breathe, the whole shebang.

Zach: O ya, that was bad. But the worst part was the band they put on my arm with my name on it. I couldn't get it off and kept stratching my eye with it.

Mom: Ya, that was sad, but kinda funny since you kept doing it.

Zach: Thanks. It was a loong wait. And some strange people in there. What happened to that kid's leg?

Mom: No idea, but I hope you don't do that in a few years. You were wiggly for the long wait and I couldn't put you down. What was up with that.

Zach: Short attention spannn--hey is that a day old piece of whole wheat waffle?? Score!

Mom: I see your point. It was nice when Dad got there and then we got to go through the magic doors to the actual ER.

Zach: Ya, those nurses were great. Until they put the toe monitor on again. Good thing I ripped that off.

Mom: Well, I am glad you are fine now, but I hope you aren't allergic to everything forever. Good thing Dad and I eat lots of fresh stuff so you can eat it too.

Zach: Ya. Are we done? Dad is on the ground and I need to tackle him.

Mom: Yup, we're done.

Band with his name on it.

Here he is in the bath before I took him over. It was getting worse and worse. So sad.
