I was putting Eric down for his nap when I heard a thump and five minutes later another. "TARA, TARYN!." I shouted after laying Eric down in the crib. We met in my bedroom. "Girl it's Marshall. He took quite a few pills in my face and went to sleep." Taryn said. "Maybe he had to pee and fell." I heard his mumbles of pain. I grabbed the bathroom key from the dresser and unlocked it. He was laid out face down and wasn't moving. "Marshall don't play." I said listening to his heart. Taryn was on the phone with 911, Tara was calming Eric, Hailie, Whitney, Alaina, and all three of her daughters down. I was trying to warm him up but, he would only blink and get colder. Finally, they got here and so I got Eric called Kim on the way saying to watch the girls and we went to the hospital.
Hospital
Eric and I had to wait for three hours before he was in stable condition.

I wrapped Eric in a blanket to keep him warm and we laid next to Marshall. "I would hate you if you left me here, but I love you too much. When you wake up you need to go to rehab now exactly but, soon." The entire night if Eric wasn't drinking milk or pooping I was reading about withdrawl from everything he was taking. Most of what he was taking had sleeplessness, night terrors, night shakes. "I can't believe what you did to yourself, Marshall." I kissed his cheek and it was warming up. Eric was sleeping on his shoulder and I noticed Marshall had moved his hand and it was on Eric's back. Tara, Taryn, and Tara's daughter Tamar came in with clothes and food. "How is he doin'?" "Good." I said before Eric started screaming. I shoved the pacifier in his mouth. "So Marissa we brought Eric something." "What?" "A portable baby crib. You hit a button it sets up you hit a other it deflates." They hugged me and then they had a flight to catch so they left. I started crying on his shoulder and then I looked at the clock 12:00. "Merry Christmas." I mumbled though tears and snot. "Baby?" I heard a hoarse voice. "I'm right here." I said looking out the window. "Can you come here?" "Okay." Grabbing a tissue. I walked to him and was met with soft lips.
