My Two Patients


Well, this week started off a bit crazy. It started with John going to the hospital Saturday night/Sunday morning with his stomach problems. Now I know why men don't give birth! They have no pain tollerance! No, he really was in pain though, and I wound up calling an ambulance to take him to the hospital. After an I.V. of a Nexium type drug, blood work, and an ultrasound, he was released around midday on Sunday. It was an attack of his reflux! He's back to normal today!

My Nicholas got hurt last night. After giving the kids their baths (the little ones), John takes Nicholas upstairs to get started on the rest of the night time routine, while I finished up with Gavin. All of the sudden, I hear screaming, and John calling my name, I ran through the living room and started heading upstairs, when John started down the stairs carrying Nicholas with blood all over his face, and a big gash on his forehead. We put a towel on his head and ice, but it wouldn't stop bleeding. John had me call 911 to get an ambulance. The police arrived, along with the EMS. Just as this was all happening, I had a mother from the school stopping over to pick up Kidstuff books that she bought - nice! Anyway, the EMS people looked at him, and the bleeding stopped finally. So we opted not to take him to the hospital, since it would be less traumatic that way. He stayed up for a little bit so we could keep a watch on him.

He's doing better today - I kept him home from pre-k to be on the safe side.

As I always say, "there's no peace!"

oh crap! Poor Nicholas. I wondered where you guys were but you had mentioned maybe taking a 'day off' from school. Now he can match Belle with the boo-boo heads.

:(

Yes, that's why we weren't at school. His head had a big cut and it was still swollen. I could just see him banging heads with another kid and bleeding all over!

Yes, him and Belle match - it's in the same spot, except his cut is horizontal, hers is vertical.
