J.J.'s First BOO BOO !

It was a good one. I was doing my usual routine this morning, going to the bank to put in my tip money from the night before, when Sharlee decided that she wanted to see mom. The hospital that she works at is right across the street from my bank. Convenient I know! So, the children and I zipped on over and piled out of the car to go see her. They both looked so cute today because I actually got them to wear their sunglasses and leave them on.

However, it didn't last long because J.J. had not taken more than 2 steps from the car when he tripped over his sister and fell face first giving the pavement a kiss with his forehead. I didn't even have to look to know that it wasn't good. I grabbed him and rushed into the hospital, once again I must point out how convenient it is that we were at a hospital, and grabbed a few tissues.

I dabbed at his forehead to get off some of the blood and I knew he would probably have to get stitches. It wasn't bleeding very bad but it was deep. I took him over to the nurses station on Shanda's floor and they grabbed her while a doctor looked at J.J.

We eventually ended up at the instacare and J.J. did get stitches. The nurses and Shanda had to wrap him in a sheet and hold him still, it took three of them, so the doctor could stitch him up. He screamed a lot.

There is a humurous side to this story though. Thanks to the fact that J.J. had been awake since 5 this morning he was very tired and he actually fell asleep before the doctor was done stitching him up. He is one crazy kid. I didn't get any after pictures of him yet, they will follow soon I promise, but I did get a before. Not for the faint of heart. And for all of his grit and hanging in there so tuff the doctors gave him and Sharlee a popsicle.

We made sure to explain to him that there are easier ways to get a popsicle.
