It was just a matter of time...

...before it would happen. You know when you have a boy you are bound to take a trip to the ER at one point or another. I was just hoping it would have been later. Well, last night Micah was upset about being brought back inside the house and went running out in the back yard and ran smack into the outdoor bar. It is lined in metal, so his head split right open. Chad grabbed him up and ran him into the shower since there was blood every where and I grabbed Brooklyn and dry clothes for him. We jumped in the car and I called my mom bawling like a baby. I didn't want him to have to be strapped down for stitches. I still remember being in that from when I was Micah's age. It was pretty traumatizing. My mom told me to pull it together and she met us at the hospital. We went to the "Emergency" Room. I put that in quotations because I believe the term is used loosely. My child had an open wound on his head and they let him sit in the waiting room for over a half hour, they didn't even clean the wound with any medications and didn't give him a tetanus shot either! Anyways, Micah was a trooper. He did better than I did. They were touching it and mopping up the wound and he didn't even flinch. I think he was distracted by all the buttons on the bed and Spongebob on the TV. They gave him a single staple to pull the skin together and they said it can be taken out in a week. We took him out for ice cream after that and put him to bed. I on the other hand was sick to my stomach thinking about the bill that is going to arrive from this trip to the ER. We just finished paying for having Brooklyn. Maybe we should start up an account with Saddleback! I think after all that has been going on (earthquake, leaks, injuries, etc.) I need a physical, emotional and financial break!
