July 3, 2015....continued

So... we take the ambulance to Des Moines Mercy Hospital and at this time it is 7 pm.  Tayden or myself had nothing to eat or drink and didn't see any end in site and that was the least of my worry!  Tayden was a trooper in the ambulance and didn't say anything until he said " is that us"  we heard sirens in Des Moines when we were traveling.  They pulled up to the shed and wheeled him into Trauma E.R. room 3 and man that was amazing they did all new tests records and all.  Dr. McCleron was the trauma doctor and he checked him out and said, Mom...."he has 2 broken vertebrae that should heal fine, he is healthy and young, he has a small hole in his lung that will probably be healed by morning.  no surgery is needed!"  I sighed relief and asked the nurse what the next step was and they said you will be moved to a room upstair on the 3rd floor and we will continue to monitor him!  about 9:30 Brandon, Nikki, and Ash and Jordan came into visit us in the E.R.  I was relieved to have support or at least someone else to listen to the details and directions.  We then waited about an hour and we were wheeled upstairs to his room.  Brandon and I went after McDonalds and grandma nikki stayed with Tayden.  We ate, brandon and I showered (he worked all day until the phone call that we were headed in the ambulance-  record timing to go home chore, get clothes and be in Des Moines at 9:30)  Tayden rested and we laid down to rest until about 5 am.  they did x ray of chest and hole was gone lung was healthy.  The spine doctor- Dr. Gachinani came in and checked his neck, tightened his brace told us 6 weeks of this and he will see us again.  The nurse pushed and used her magic to get us released first so we left the hospital around 2:00 to come home!!! July 4, 2015 Tayden was dismissed from Mercy Medical Hospital in a neck brace with a few scratches!!! What a lucky boy/family we are !
