E.R.

We had our first trip to the Emergency Room (Sept 9)
that weekend Owen had been real sick with flu like symptoms so i decided that him and i were going to stay home from Church on Sunday. Josh and Owen had gone upstairs for Josh to get ready for church and I heard a loud crash! i ran upstairs and Josh was holding Owen's hand in the sink with blood running everywhere! My heart sank!

owen had pushed on my floor length mirror that was leaning on the wall in our closet and the middle broke out and all came crashing down. Owen's finger got the worst of it. Lucky boy. I decided that to the Emergency room we went.

 they opted to "glue" the cut instead of stitches because it was less work/traumatic for the baby.
 his bloody finger after we left. he did get a sweet scratch on his forehead too.
 this is his finger 5 days after wards. the glue was suppose to last 9 days but only last 5 hours!! so from there we just kept it clean and put a band aid on it. it's still pretty swollen and finally stopped bleeding. he will have a sweet little scar. i think they should have just stitch it!

Once I waited three hours in the ER just to have the Dr glue Ava's lip back together. He told me when it wore off to just reapply super glue. Now that is what we do for all major bleeders that aren't deep. Much less hassle. Poor little man. Seems like he was taking it well though.
