Sorry I've been away sooo long! So much is going on, that I haven't had time to get on the computer. And when I have time... Kenny is usually working on it. I'm happy (actually ecstatic) that he's working and has many projects lining up, so I don't dare ask to get on the computer for a blog post! :-)
So backup a month or so ago, February 24, to be exact. It was a typical Thursday morning. I was getting breakfast ready in the kitchen while Jackson was peeping through the bar opening from the family room. He was able to look thru the opening by standing on the couch. We tell Jackson and Jordan to not stand on the couch all the time. All the time!!! When I told him that breakfast was ready, he slipped off the edge of the couch and hit the edge of the coffee table with his chin. I heard the bump and heard him crying and he walked into the kitchen covering his chin. When he moved his had, it started bleeding. Uh-oh, I thought, this might be more serious than I thought. I pulled on it a little and it made a hole. Oh NO! All who know me know it took a deep breath to keep from getting queasy. So we covered the cut with a dish towel and ran to the bathroom to urge Daddy to get out of the shower. Kenny is my go-to guy for this kind of stuff. First of all, he's a boy and had SEVERAL cuts and stitches. And, he knows first aid really, really well. So he took a look and was like, yep, we need to go to the ER. So we rushed Jordan to daycare (by this time, we bandaged it up and it was closed up enough that it wasn't really bleeding too much), and we went on to St. Luke's. 5 stitches later, we were okay. Poor little guy. It took 4 adults to hold him down. 2 men and 2 women. By the time it was over, we were both in tears. Jackson's head was foaming he was sweating so much. And we were so happy when it was over. This was the best pic we got with Kenny's phone.
As a side note, the doctor that stitched up Jackson is actually a dad to one of Jackson's classmates. He was awesome!
Oh, and taking the stitches out was just as traumatic! Luckily, I didn't have to witness that one! Thanks, Kenny for taking care of it!!!
