Orin's First Paramedic Experience

>> Tuesday, June 19, 2007

Two weekends ago we went to "Celebrate Fairfax" which is a local, yearly festival where we live. It's a lot of fun because there's great stuff for kids. For example, there are Fire Trucks/Firemen, Police Cars/Police Men, Ambulances, Police Motorcycles, Commuter Buses/Drivers and more that kids can climb on and explore. Anyway, that was Orin's favorite part. At one part during the day Orin stood up in his stroller and fell off onto his head. Of course, he was screaming and his head was bleeding. I've always seen those "First Aid" areas at festivals but I've never had to use one. Since his head was dripping blood, I figured we should get him checked out to make sure he didn't need stitches. They were really nice and were probably happy to have someone to help :-) It's funny because his hair is so long it made it hard to get a good look...of course, he was saying "no, no, no" as they examined him and was trying to get down. But he actually did pretty well overall. We asked him if he wanted French fries or ice cream to make him feel better he chose FF. It took him a while to bounce back but an hour later he was excited to see what was next. Here is a picture they took of him driving the commuter bus (by the way, every time we pass a bus - which happens often - he points it out and says he wants to ride it). I've been meaning to take him on a outing where we ride a bus, so I guess this will have to hold him over until we can do it.
