Whirlwind few days

Last Sunday Dave and I got the phone call that no parent heck no person ever wants to get. Alayna had been in an accident, she fell off a golf cart and was being transported to MUSC where we would know more. Dave not being a local didn't realize until we told him but if they transport you to MUSC things are not good. Luckily we were at my parents house which is 10 minutes from the hospital so we were able to wait there until we knew they were almost there. 

We really didn't have a whole lot of details so when we saw her getting out the ambulance it was a bit of a shock for us. It was very emotional for a few hours not really knowing a whole lot except she had a bad concussion. 

Turns out she had a severe concussion and there was a fracture in her head along with an air pocket. The rest of her body was bumped and bruised but otherwise ok. 

 In the ER

Monday we spent the majority of the day with her in the hospital and even Logan got to come visit. Him and I decided to head to my parents house for a bit because Dave wasn't ready to leave for the day but I needed out of that room for a bit. We kept him that night and took care of him tuesday regarding school. 

Her smile when she found out she could LEAVE!!

  They kept her 2 nights and 2 whole days in the hospital because she kept puking and had no appetite. Tuesday she was able to eat a little, hold it down and walked a little so they decided she could leave. 

 She came straight to our house from the hospital because I was going to keep her on Wednesday while everyone went to work. I can work from home so it worked out perfect. 

 She had a pretty great day! She was still wobbly but doing good. Lots of tablet/tv time, my parents and Lola brought us lunch and hung out for a minute and she got a basket of candy and balloons delivered to the door! 

This weekend should be interesting keeping her from doing too much because mentally she is ready to go back to normal but physically she isn't there just yet. This has been a crazy week but we are just so happy she is OK and should have no long term issues from her accident.

Angel Oak

Before we left Johns Island on Logans birthday we decided to stop by and let the kids see the Angel Oak. It is so pretty and cool to see but it is definitely not somewhere you stop for a long period of time. Now if they let you actually climb on the tree it would be a whole different story but they are very strict with it. It was worth a quick 10 minute pit stop! 

After we left there we stopped by to bring my grammy a few cupcakes and say hey! The kids had a blast at her house because their toy collection is quite large! Dave napped, the kids played and I got to spend some time with my grammy! It was safe to say our Saturday was great!

Day in the woods

A few weekends ago on Logans birthday we headed back out the Johns Island to spend time with the fam, be one with nature, shoot some guns, ride the 4-wheeler, eat some lunch and cupcakes and just have FUN! It was a BLAST!! 

 

 

 My favorite guys!

 

 Alayna and I also took a long walk down the road and just enjoyed exploring. 

 He was so excited to get to shoot guns again, he is very comfortable with it now!

 Singing happy birthday to the big 10 year old!

 We went down the road for them to shoot skeet! I attempted but I have no aim. I was lucky to not drop the gun haha

 

 

We had the BEST time out there!! It may be awhile before we go again because once it gets hot it won't be as enjoyable plus mosquitos will be showing up soon. Regardless of when we can't wait to go back out there again!
