Life Is Never Dull

Let me start out by saying that all is fine. But now we know what the ER looks like in Santa Cruz, Bolivia! (Do I have your attention now :) Ty fell out of the hammock last night onto a ceramic tile floor. He had a pretty big goose egg, which didn't concern us all that much since all of our kids have fallen at some time in their life and gotten one. What really concerned us were the different sized pupils. After about an hour and a half, we called our friend Toni, a doctor and fellow missionary, who said if it were her child she wouldn't take chances and would go to the ER for a possible CAT scan. Thankfully our teammate Laura was at our house within 5 minutes to put Sam and Georgia to bed and Bubba and I sped off to the ER. The doctor checked him out thoroughly and said "clinicamente" (clinically)he looked fine, that he didn't need a CAT scan, and that we should just watch him to make sure he didn't throw up or get worse. Gracias a Dios he is fine! It only cost $30 for a visit to the ER and we sure slept better knowing he had been thoroughly checked out. We're thankful that in a third world country we have access to good medical care.
