Little back story, it's been a hard year. I was laid off recently, a loss in the family and just some rather rough moments.
Today I threw my 5M son a party at the splash pad at our park. Invited several of his friends, A friend of mine made cupcakes and I ordered pizza. It wasn't the usual party because of financial restrictions but I figured it was something and he'd feel loved.
We got to the park and start putting up some balloons a friend brought. The heat this year has been rough but the pavilion is covered and the water feels great and has shade. It was warm but not overly hot. Sunny but overcast. The kids play, cupcakes present and my friends ran to get the pizza. We're only about 15 minutes in. My husband gets up to walk to the car and passes out hitting the ground. Another friend and I pick him up and drag him to the car, blast the AC and try to get some water in him. EMS shows up. At this point my friends are watching the kids and I'm trying to get water in him. As I'm trying to answer a few questions from EMS a friend walks up with my toddler. His blue shirt is green. Odd.. He says I need a bandaid, she says he needs stitches. So 5M slipped and busted his chin open on a bench. It's blood on his shirt.
This is how my 5 year olds party lasted about 30 minutes and ended with an EMS visit and an ER trip.
Ironically I didn't rent a water slide this year at the house because of financial reasons but ended to with EMS and an ER trip instead.
Husband is fine, he was back to himself shortly. It's a preexisting condition that is not life threatening but we thought was under control.
5M is fine, he spent the entire ER visit asking if he's still going to get presents.
I on the other hand am done for the day.
TL;DR birthday party ended with everyone getting hurt today.
