More snow to come?????
Well, as you can see the last several days have been very happening around here! I am thinking the snow started here Monday night and we woke up to about 3.5 inches Tuesday morning. The ice started I guess around noon and had pretty much covered everything by early evening. Ken was scheduled to work at the Berea store and much to my worry headed out there and got a little more than half way only to find out that the store had already lost power and for him to head back home. Wednesday morning we woke up to everything snow and ice covered, what pretty sight... that was until we lost power about 10:15! We hung around until about 12:30 and headed over to Ken's Mom's in Georgetown who had power and welcomed us in kids, dog, and a freezer full of food. We camped out there until Saturday morning. Our power came back on about 3:00 Friday afternoon, but we wanted the house to warm back up before we came home. Apparently our sewage treatment plant lost power Friday morning as well, moving Midway up on the list. We had previously been told could be up to 2 weeks!!!!!! So, all was well we came back home to a warm house and Ken left Kaden and for work. About and hour or so later Kaden and I were in the kitchen and I noticed he was crunching on something... I finally got his mouth open and discovered a piece of GLASS!!!! I frantically kept trying to get the piece he continued to munch on but could not. I called the pediatrician and they said if I even suspected to swallowed glass to take him to the ER. Of course, it would be the one day that Ken drives the car that has the car seat in it to work... so he had to close down the pharmacy and come and get us. To Central Baptist we go.... they get us right back and then we wait, and wait and wait. They finally come and get us for a Baby Gram, in essence a Baby X-ray. Nothing showed up on the x-ray but we were told that glass only shows up 50% of the time anyway. We finally saw the PA who checked him and told us he would probably pass it and that he probably crunched it up so fine that he would digest it. He was a trooper through the whole thing! He had been fine since then- first trip to the ER down!! Since then, we have thankfully been pretty uneventful!!! Rachel is out of school again today, I guess some of the schools may not have power yet. Hope you are all safe, warm, and have power!
XOXO,
The Glass Family
