My unexpected trip to the ER this morning

So...my morning started off with getting up and getting the kids ready for school. I go to leave out the door and my stepson lifts and swings his backpack to put it on (mind you the backpack is completely full of books and stuff.) Well, he hits me right in my lower abdomen. I kinda got upset and told him to watch out. He got all nasty with me and didn't apologize or even ask if I was ok. He just said I was in his way and he was trying to put on his backpack.
So, driving kids to school and I start cramping. I'm crying at this point because it was hurting and he was being a jerk. So I drop them off and as soon as he's out of the car I call my OB dr. Well, she got really serious and told me to go the ER RIGHT NOW!
Get off the phone and drop DD off at grandma's. Dad takes me to the hospital. I get all checked out. Baby is fine. Cervix is intact. All the labs came back normal. I have a contusion on the top of my uterus where the backpack hit.
While I was there the ultrasound tech checked the baby. The stinker was moving so much that they couldn't even track the heart rate. And they were going to check the s e x of the baby...moving too much and crossing it's legs.

So, I go back to my OB next week. Til then I have to take it easy and take tylenol for my pain and soreness.

be careful....:)
Definitely. I didn't know it was so dangerous having stepsons. lol I wouldn't be so mad but he didn't apologize or even ask if I was ok. He just got nasty with me and basically told me that I was in HIS way. It was like he didn't even care.
The dr said I was lucky that everything is ok. The diagnosis is a uterine contusion from blunt force trauma. That's what they listed it on my discharge papers. His backpack weighs at least 40lbs.

My dad plans on it as soon as he's out of school. My husband isn't back from being overseas yet but he already has been informed and he's not happy to say the least. He's lucky that he was in school when my dad found out. My dad blew up. It wasn't a pretty sight.

Glad you are ok! I will not give you any unsolicited advice about what to do to that boy, just know that if something like that happens in the future you have a place you can send your pup.

Hope your Dad is calmed down before the conversation. It's going to be fairly traumatic for the boy too when he learns exactly what happened because of his carelessness. At least I hope it is.

My dad has calmed down. I'll be talking to my stepson before my dad does. I hope that he can at least have some remorse and apologize for it. That's all I'm asking out of it. And to be careful in the future.
And Scott...I think you have enough puppies at your house right now.
Keiko will be staying at home. My parents live across the street so if I ever need a pet or child sitter they're always there. But thanks for offering.

18! I hope grandpa tears off his head and cr......
That would change my reaction but I guess going to jail for assault wouldn't help matters.

I am not so sure just assigning him some homework tonight wouldn't be the best way to handle it. Give him the doctors report to read and see what he does.

oh well my original sentiment that he's just some little kid, he has no idea that he can hurt you is out the window.

No...he's old enough to know better. He just didn't care that he could possibly hurt the baby. He's been in this selfish, kiss my b u t t phase for several weeks now. My dad has volunteered to have a conversation with him after I pick him up from school. My husband on the other hand...is livid. Which means that the conversation from him will be an in his face, drill sargeant kind of talk.
It takes a lot to get my husband that mad but this was the straw that broke the camel's back.
I can't wait for this boy to go to basic. This summer is going to be soooo much fun for him.

The only running I'll be doing is to drop off and pick up the kids from school. Other than that, I'll be on bedrest except to get something to eat, drink or go to the bathroom. I'm glad that this isn't going to last very long because bedrest is horrible. Thank goodness my computer is a laptop that I can use while in bed.

My dad spared no expense in the conversation about respecting me, apologizing when you do something wrong, being more careful and the whole if it happens again we're not having this talk again. We'll just get into fisticuffs.

I just told him that he could've serious hurt the baby, to be careful and aware of what he's doing before he does it so this doesn't happen again.
Oh...he did apologize. And my dad made him cry.
