Thursday evening (2.20.14), my kiddos and two boys they attend school with, all went sledding up the block from our house. Moments later, I get a frantic phone call saying Zeke got hurt. I get up there to find Zeke laying on the ground, crying, and his right leg turned back. I got him back home with help from those boys (one helping me, one carrying Macie who didn't want to leave). I was frantic because I assumed the closest hospital would be in Bismarck and that's still close to an hour away, and I didn't know WHERE it was located. I sent my friend Jessica a text and she was a huge help and sent me the address. I get all the kids in the car and did 85 the entire way to the hospital.Got to the hospital, couldn't find the ER entrance and ended up going the wrong way in a one lane road. It was madness. Thankfully, soon after we arrived at the hospital and everyone there was super kind and the entire process was rather quick. They x-rayed both his legs and nothing was broken, but it turned out he has strained/sprained a ligament. So he has a leg brace he has to wear now. Jessica met us at the hospital and helped me with the younger two as I helped Zeke dress and signed his discharge papers. Zeke was such a trooper and so strong about the whole situation. So sad this happened to him but so proud of him and his strength.
