No, I Didn't Hit Him in the Head

with a frying pan.These are the injuries Corby got at 4am this morning when he passed out in the bathroom. I called an ambulance, and he was transported to St. Francis. After running blood tests and an EKG, they determined it was not a heart attack. Actually, they couldn't really determine what caused it. This has happened before - twice - but it's been about 7 years since the last one. He was having bad cramps and was nauseous before passing out. They call it "vasovagal syncope" - where extreme pain or shock makes you pass out. After running the tests and calling our doctor, they released him around 7am to rest at home for a few days. He will be going to the doctor on Monday and they will probably set him up with a 24 or 48-hour heart monitor just to make sure his heart is beating correctly. Needless to say it freaks me out when this happens. Nothing like waking up from a deep sleep by hearing a LOUD crash! He's a little stiff and sore from hitting - well - we're not really sure what he hit, but his shoulder hurts as well as his head. Kaitlin went to the hospital with me - we actually beat the ambulance there!

Keep us in your prayers!

I sure hope Corby is doing better now! Sorry to hear about your exciting night. I can't help putting the last 2 posts together, I would sure be sick if I unloaded 2 trucks in frigid weather. It was -2 here in IN when we arrived and the night before it was -20! Cold trip so far, hope it warms up tomorrow.

Things happen in groups it seems. Hope Corby is on his way to recovery and NEVER has another one of those attacks. Anne

Well i am glad Linda called me before i saw the picture of Corby. Looks like he was in a fight with the bathroom and the bathroom won. Believe me i have had fights with the kitchen and ended up sitting on the floor with a carton of cottage cheese in one hand, at least i didn't drop the cottage cheese, ha ha. Sometimes we have to laugh about things that happen in our lives. Love ya Rhonda

What's Good

Here's what's good right now: 1. Corby's OKAY after an accident at work today! He was on the forklift pulling onto a truck when the truck driver pulled away from the dock apparently to reallign himself (WHAT AN IDIOT DRIVER!!!) and he fell off the dock. Thank goodness there is a roll-bar on those forklifts. He has a headache and will probably be stiff tomorrow, but says he is okay. They sent him for a drug test. It's their policy if someone has an accident at work. 2. Feeling much better. I'm about 75% well now. Still have a cough and some sinus issues, but I think I'll survive. 3. Spending today with Kaleb & Kaitlin. 4. Having such good kids. Leeker's just called Kaitlin to see if she'd work longer hours today. They have a lot of employees out sick. She was supposed to work 4-8, but volunteered to work 2-9. Here's a pat on the back hon! 5. Enjoying some Josh Groban music. 6. Cleaning out my file cabinet and getting ready for 2008. I know, I...
