Back to the E.R...again.

I think William is trying to get a membership at the local hospital. They know him by name there. My baby boy got his first set of stitches tonight. No good story like learning to ride a bike or anything like that. He just tripped over his own two feet and hit the corner of the wall. His back was to me so I didn't think it was bad at all when he started crying...until he turned around. He freaked me out. As soon as he turned around, blood was pouring down his little face. As a parent, it is a very scary thing to see and not control. I learned that anywhere above the neck bleeds fast. He had a pretty deep gash but he is ok. Just a couple stitches and we got to go home. Oh and we learned he is allergic to plastic medical tape tonight.

Poor Will! I think that's kind of funny that they know him by name. :) Braden fell against a corner of a wall when he was about that age. We didn't think he needed stitches but it bled a lot... he probably did need stitches because he has a little scar now, it's on his eyebrow. Oh well... :)

Poor little dude! Boys are going to get their scars though...seems like they all have at least a couple of scars with stories :) P.S., if you need to get blood out of carpet--1 part hydrogen peroxide, 1 part hot water, poor on the stain and then mop it up with a towel. It's like magic!
