Most Recent ER visit

As parents of 4 kids, we have been very lucky. We haven't had that many trips to the ER with the kids. No, instead it has been Mario or I going to the ER. Last year I had to go in with a possible concussion from hitting my head while tubing down a river. Then a few months ago Mario had to go in when he was experiencing bad chest pains. Fortunately he was just fine and has had several follow up tests to confirm that he has a great heart.

Last night, Mario was back at the ER. Try not to laugh when I tell you this story. He was at church last night for an EQ meeting. When he left the church about 10 pm last night a moth flew into his ear. He came home and was frantic. "Terri, Terri, I need your help! A bug flew in my ear and I can't get it out. It is still fluttering around in my ear!" If he weren't so panicked, I would have fell over laughing. I tried to shine a light in his ear but couldn't see anything. I quickly googled what to do if a bug flies in your ear. Apparently this happens more frequently than I would have thought. Most of the posts online said go to the ER and not try to get the bug out yourself. You could easily damage your ear drum. So, here it is almost 10:30 pm and Mario was off to the ER. He was lucky though and the dr got the moth out and Mario was home around midnight. I had a good laugh with the kids this morning as I told them the story of a moth fluttering around in dad's ear. I am not sure any of them believed the story.
