The day started off well enough. My wife got up with me early and we went to my new church. After church we went to do the grocery shopping before we started our primary plans for the day. Our plan was to pick up our son at school and take him to a Bowie Baysox game instead of our usual visit of taking him to Golden Corral for lunch.
The visit started our well enough. We picked him up, and he was excited about going to the game. We got to the stadium, and he wanted a hamburger and french fries for lunch. He enjoyed the game, but unfortunately our Bowie Baysox lost the game. When it was time to leave, we stopped by the restroom before starting our drive back to his dorm.
That is when our troubles began. After my son finished urinating, he announced that he didn't want to go back to school and dropped to the ground in the men's room. Thankfully, another gentleman asked me if I needed help with him, and I had him go to the first aid station to see if they could help. He called one of the park policeman working security for assistance.
The three of us tried to calm my son down. We even tried to get my son into a wheelchair to try to take him out to our car. Eventually, we had to call the fire department and have them send out a crew with a stretcher to try to get him out to the car. I got him to walk out of the restroom, but he dropped again. At that point, the security officer, two paramedics and I carried him out to the car.
Once we got him to the car, he got up on his own and climbed into his seat in the car. We then headed back to school without incident. Once we got back to school, he ate the dinner that the had for him. While we were there, they showed us the technique they use for getting him up when he drops. I hope we never have to use it, but it was good info to know for the future.
