EVACUATED!

Well, we just got back home after having to evacuate our house Friday afternoon due to carbon monoxide. Talk about crazy! Our smoke/CO detector went off Friday afternoon and I called the fire department and they were out to the house within 5-10 minutes. As soon as they walked in, their tester started beeping. After just a couple minutes the readings were raised enough that they asked if there was somewhere Ashlyn and I could go NOW. I grabbed our coats and headed across the street to our fabulous neighbors' house (thanks Brian, Kristi and Elizabeth!!). I thought it would be a quick deal, but the firemen called the gas company to locate the CO leak and they had to turn our gas off. Brian and Kristi fed us dinner and kept Ashlyn while we headed to the ER and my mom headed into town to get Ashlyn. With the levels as high as they were in the house (they evacuate houses at 15 parts per million, 50PPM is considered critical and we had readings of 80PPM upstairs in our house), and after talking to my doctor, the ER and Poison Control we decided to go to the ER to get my blood levels checked to see if Maguire was in any danger. Fortunately we were in and out of the ER in less than an hour and my blood level was 3.4, where anything less than 5 is normal. We stayed at Kyle's parents' house Friday night until Monday night and then at my parents' house last night. Finally our new furnace (just what we wanted to spend money on right during the holidays!) is installed and we're in the clear. Praise the Lord we're all ok and we have great families who live relatively close. It's good to be home!!
