Ouch!

Last night Sawyer spun himself silly in the living room, and then stumbled and fell face first into the corner of the entryway bench, splitting his brow bone open pretty badly. I have to admit that I wasn't exactly the picture of calm, cool & collected, as much as I tried to maintain my composure and not freak out. Luckily Mitch is far better with bloody situations than I am, so after quickly calling the nurse helpline to see if there was any way to treat the injury at home, they headed out to the emergency room...for almost FIVE hours!!!

Sawyer seemed to take all the waiting in a stride, probably because Mitch completely wore out the battery on his BlackBerry letting him watch cartoon videos on YouTube, but it was definitely a long, late night in the extremely busy ER. In the end, they used layer upon layer of medical glue to seal the wound, which is actually really cool since we won't have to go back anywhere to have stitches removed. Sawyer came bouncing through the door (literally) at midnight last night, tossing me his medical bracelet and telling me all about how he got to see ambulances and how nice the doctors were. He stayed home with me today, and we went to the toy store to pick out a birthday present for Traci's son, and he got to pick out a new puzzle for doing such a good job last night. He's currently in the middle of a marathon nap (3 hours so far!) since he was still pretty worn out from all the excitement.
