Busted

So our rough and tumble little bruiser gave us a major panic Sunday. We were all getting ready to go out grocery shopping, when we heard a very loud THUD in the play room. We rushed in to see Carter screaming and blood starting to pour from his forehead. Kyle swooped him up and after seeing more and more blood we called 911. (that is an experience!)

Anyway, EMS came and bandaged him up and said he would need stitches. He had about an inch long gash straight down his forehead. Gigi thankfully rushed over to watch Davis & Evan while Kyle and I took Carter to the ER.

We went to the hospital that I went to when I passed out in my friend Shannon's car while 20 weeks pregnant. The same one that 2 weeks after that, turned me away with my bad stomach virus and made me go all the way to the main hospital because I happened to be pregnant with triplets. But I like it because it is never crowded!

Here is Carter waiting for his stitches...



Anyway, low and behold the same wonderful doctor that treated me that time was the one to fix Carter's forehead :) This immediately put me at ease!

She did a great job of stitching him up (7 total!!!). Carter was a champ through the whole thing. He didn't even cry as long as we kept singing to him. I will spare you a picture of the actual stitches.

We go tomorrow to get the stitches out...now if we can just get him to slow down. I think we may need to get him a helmet. :)

Poor Carter! I wonder where he get's his hard head from? Mmmm... Love the sprinkler shots and the school bus - we'll have to come try it out! Miss seeing y'all!

Wow! I went to school with Kyle growing up and a friend just sent me the link to your blog. Your family is absolutely adorable! Congratulations a little late!
