Calling 911...

Well, the end of the week last week and this weekend were a bit CRAZY... but we are surviving, but not just surviving, I would say that we are thriving, because we have Jesus!!

Thursday afternoon I opted to let my kids skip nap and go to church with me to scrapbook for a few hours. We had been there about 15 minutes, long enough for the boys to find their favorite "church" truck to play with, when I hear David start crying and Paul says (very calmly), "Mommy, David has a boo-boo."

I run in the other room and find David with his face and hands absolutely covered with blood!! I grab him, run towards the bathroom, and scream, "Denise, I need help!" We get to the bathroom and find the source of all the blood, he has a big gash on his forehead, right at his hairline, and the blood is flowing. We decide we need to call 911, so the church staff jumps into action mode! They were wonderful, all I had to do was hold David's hand and try to comfort him, for he is crying uncontrollably.

I ask someone to check on Paul, I figured he was really worried about his brother. He was fine, he wanted to go outside and wait for the fire truck! So that is what he and the others did...

The firemen arrived and decided we needed to go to the ER, I talked them into letting us go to our doctor, and they canceled the ambulance drive (calling 911 was enough excitement!) So Paul stays to play and "scrapbook" with the ladies and I take David to the doctor.

I call my dear, sweet husband on the way and tell him he needs to meet me at the doctor. He was having lunch with Mr. Steve before he left town, so Mr. Steve got to come to the doctor with us. I told him that David just loved him so much he just had to see him again!!

David's cut was very straight so the doctor was able to glue it back together. He told us not to get it wet for 5 days...

Well, Saturday at lunch I noticed that some of the glue was gone; David had pulled it off. We had a big talk about how he did not need to bother it or that his boo-boo might get worse and we could have to go back to the doctor. He said he understood...

Fast forward to Sunday afternoon, naptime (Father's Day)... I hear him in the bathroom and go to check on him, he is getting a washcloth, looks up at me and says, "the glue fell off." I am so sure that glue just fell off! His cut is now open and bleeding again, not bad, but still bleeding, and open! So we call the nurse on call, and she tells us how we can fix it ourselves. So my poor husband spent the majority of his Father's Day fixing David's boo-boo, it took quite a while and a couple of trips to Wal-Mart for supplies! But what a wonderful Daddy he is. I think we did a pretty good job and that it should heal up nicely, if David will just leave it alone!

Hopefully we will have an uneventful week, the boo-boo will heal and we can go to the pool for the 1st time of the summer! I am so ready to swim!!

Super Glue!

We have been to the doctor this afternoon, David had to get his head glued back together!

I was sitting in carpool line waiting to pick the boys up from 3-K this afternoon and their teacher called me on my cell phone. She said that David had hit his eye and I should probably come in; so... I parked the car and ran in. David was screaming and crying and blood was everywhere!

It ended up being a rather small cut but it looked a little deep so we decided I should take him to doctor to be checked out. So I called the doctor and told them we were coming and then called James to meet us there. (It is so nice that he works right down the road from their doctors office, he can usually always meet me there. Sometimes being at the doctor with 2 is really hard!)

We really didn't have to wait long at all, and we got to visit with some 16 year old twin boys in the well baby waiting room. I can't imagine my boys being that big, but they will be one day. One even had blond hair and the other brown!

Anyway, the doctor said the cut was very straight and went back together really well so he could just glue it instead of having to stitch it. That was fine with me! It took about 5 minutes and then we were out of there. David can't have a bath for 5 days!! I guess I will have to give him a sponge bath, I don't want any stinky boys in my house!!

We stopped at the library on the way home and we are all watching "Finding Nemo" right now, since we missed nap time today. Hopefully I can put them to bed early tonight and have a relaxing evening with James!
