This was an interesting Father’s Day, and not just because we had a new baby to celebrate with. Justin ended up in the emergency room.

He is healthy and well, but that morning he was feeling chest pains. When he called urgent care with questions, they sent him to the hospital.

He was there a few hours for monitoring, and everything came back OK. No heart attack or anything, which was definitely a relief. The doctor attributed it to stress. Basically his social anxiety disorder — which typically inhibits social interactions, such as talking to people, ordering food, driving a car, etc — manifested in a new way amid all the recent changes at home.

We joked later that he couldn’t last more than a week at home with the boys before winding up in the ER. That’s one way to celebrate Father’s Day!
