Who knew church could be so exciting? I bet you didn't.
Brendan and I were sitting enjoying another wonderful, spiritual sacrament meeting and Cruz was crawling and walking along the chairs in our row, when Cruz, trying to pull himself up , fell and hit his eye on the chair. He let out a little cry and then went on with his busy little self. A few minutes later I finally looked at his eye and he had a huge egg growing above his eye. Brendan, being the great dad that he is went to get some ice for his little eye and I began feeding Cruz his lunch. I had fed Cruz almost the whole half of his sandwich and a piece of cheese when Brendan finally came back in holding an empty plastic cup. I was thinking, "how in the world is an empty cup going to help Cruz's eye!!!!" Still starring at the cup Brendan tells me, "I just fainted". I didn't believe him at first and then I looked at his face and he was white as a ghost.
Brendan had apparently walked into the kitchen, opened the freezer, while thinking, "I'm kind of tired" and then he was lying on the ground. One of the primary boys was walking by the kitchen right as Brendan fainted and when Brendan woke up he asked him how hard he hit his head. The kid just said pretty hard and then walked off. Brendan then walked out to the foyer and told the family sitting out there that he had just fainted and he thought he might puke. Needless to say they rushed and got a garbage can. All while this was happening I was thinking what was taking so long and I had a feeling that I needed to go check on him.
After Brendan came back in and told me I went and grabbed a doctor in the ward. He sat with Brendan for a little while and took his heart rate. Apparently he thought Brendan was ok, because he got up and sat with his family with out saying anything. I was a little shaken about the whole situation. Stupid, but it really scared me.
Don't worry, Brendan is ok. He is still breathing and alive. We went home after sacrament meeting and he took a nap, but I made sure to wake him up to make sure he was still alive. As for Cruz, he just has a little black eye, but nothing huge.

Sounds like you had an adventurous meeting! Glad they are doing ok!
That is crazy. Great story! I'm glad Brendan is ok. I'm sorry you have two battered boys now...
maybe it was all that PX90- catching up with brendan, that workout is more than intense. eat lots of protein, and drink lots of water, and powerade!
poor baby cruz, he is such a little toughy! i am suprised he even let out a little cry, i thought for sure nothing could make him cry!
Poor guys! What an eventful Church day. Glad they are both ok!
very scary/amusing story. sacrament meeting is always an adventure with a toddler. but you guys take the cake on the most adventurous sacrament meeting to date. glad everyone is ok!
So that day, Greg also went home after sacrament meeting and I stayed with the boys. When we got home he told me that some guy had come out and sat on the couch and told him that he had just fainted and was feeling ill. So greg went and got him the trash can and asked him if he was sure he was ok. Brenand told him yah i'll be fine, i'll just have my wife take me home. I was trying to figure out who it was but Greg was clueless! I'm glad he was ok. I can only imagine!
