Accident Prone

Check out little man's shiner...right smack dab on his left cheek. It doesn't look so bad in the picture, but boy was it deep. In a mad dash to make it to the potty on time, Miller slid right into the toilet paper dispenser. I knew right away that this wasn't your average boo boo. When this gash wouldn't stop bleeding, I knew we were in for another trip to the ER. It's so hard to judge whether or not to go in. Talk about panic, the doctor's nurses were all at lunch when I called for advice. My mind was racing with a flurry of decisions that in a rush to get out the door I left without little man's shoes!! Fortunately, I remembered Eliza Kate!




Of course, I couldn't reach Landon on the way to the ER. He had a really important business lunch that kept him distracted and away from his phone. Fortunately, my mom rode with us to the hospital so I could have an extra set of hands. I don't know what we would do without local grandparents! Upon entering the hospital, the triage nurse said to me, "Don't worry we can give him something to sedate him." That's how worked up little man was over just thinking about getting a band-aid on his face. Have I mentioned that we have a band-aid a phobic around here. Just the mere mention of it sends Miller into a tizzy..weird I know!

Dr. Winkle worked his magic on Miller's face. After gaining Miller's trust, he had Miller literally in stitches..no pun intended. Miller was giggling up a storm at Dr. Winkle's antics and sound effects. Dr. Winkle raised and lowered the hospital bed over and over which held Miller's attention. Mom and I were shocked at just how still M layed on the bed without sedation. Dermabond glue was just the answer to stop this puncture wound from bleeding and hold the cut together. Now if we could just keep the glue dry and untouched for 5 days.
We've had an eventful June of ER visits. I hope there aren't any more illnesses or injuries the rest of the summer.
