At the park, on the money bars, this happened...
It looked bad. However, after consulting medical professionals, I decided to monitor him at home. While getting him settled with meds and ice I noticed water on the floor.
The water was seeping. Opening the under the sink cupboard, I saw it leaking from the pipe.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!
Our gray water tank was apparently full and backing up.
So, Hannah set about draining the gray water into a separate holding tank we have (lovingly called the Doody Wagon) and the three girls (Nat, Abbie, and Hannah) took it up to the dump station while Travis tended Caleb and Lily and Emily helped me clean up the kitchen.
Praise the Lord Ben slept well and looks ten times better this morning. Swelling is down, pupils are normal, no nausea and he is his normal goofy self. (A little disappointed that he didn't get black eyes!)
With everyone on the mend with no more tummy upset, we are headed into Nashville today to tour the Capitol and museum, then pick up Doug, who also is feeling much better, at the airport.
What a dang week.
Thank you to all who have prayed and posted notes of encouragement. You have no idea how much it means.
I will continue to update.
Oh, Stacy. Truly, Incubation for Sanctification. Your poor guy. :( We've had those gray water (and black...gross!!) leaks. Not fun.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to really laugh at these memories one day! We laugh at some of our worst travel stories going from TX to OH with all of us sick. Don't ask what else could go wrong or you may find out. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! What a day! I'm so sorry. Our gray water backed up last week, but fortunately it was just in our shower which was yucky, but easy to clean up.
