It's been quite the week around here. Jason's been up at Ft. Bragg, NC to do his in-processing for his military training that starts at the first of the year. Luckily he got home tonight. I only wish it was last night...As I was getting dinner ready last night I heard a big thunk and turned to see Jack crying over the leather ottoman in front of the couch.
His legs were on the couch, leading me to believe he either jumped or was trying to climb over to it. Either way, his lip was split wide open. I normally don't have any issues with blood and stuff, but this was enough to make me lightheaded! Anyway, I grabbed both boys and headed to the ER. What could have been a 4-5 hour event, was only a 2+ hour event, thanks to the wonderful nurse that worked on Jack.Because of his strength, they had to knock Jack out (which freaked me out) to get the stitches in. They stitched inside his lip and underneath his lip. Jack fell asleep during the procedure (they paralyze the body but most people are aware of what's going on), which was a good thing as far as not having night terrors as a side effect, but bad in that it took about an hour to wake him up from it (he has deep sleeps).
Our neighbors showed up to help me with Ethan (who was a star for being dragged out of home without dinner and being in his car seat for so long - he didn't cry once!) and it was such a relief to have their company. Plus it was nice for Jack to have Maddie and Oskar there to comfort him.Long story short(er), he's got a big, fat lip today and has a funny talk but is being a really trooper. Tomorrow he's off to the dentist as his gums are swollen and his teeth are a bit knocked around. That should be a fun trip - glad that Daddy is home to handle that one!
It was a very exhausting night (had to sleep with Jack in case he threw up so that he wouldn't choke on it). He was just fine but I had a few feet in my face and back! Now I'm off to get some much needed sleep!
