No running in the house!

My mom said it, your mom said it, I say it all the time and Im sure most of you say it...And yet they never listen! We were in Peachtree City starting the process of cleaning the house and getting it move in ready when Gage and Ethan just had to chase eachother around the house. Gage was chasing Ethan and Ethan slipped and fell and hit his head on what I believe was a sharp edge of a baseboard. I saw Gages face when he saw Ethans head and I ran to see what had happened only to find my little Ethan's head gushing blood from his forehead! It was terrifying! You hear all these stories about people hitting their head the wrong way and dying. I just didnt know what to think. I grabbed him and my mom got me compresses for his head and Justin and I hauled you know what to the hospital. Luckily mom was there to watch Sadie and Gage. When we got there they checked his vitals and wrapped up his head...
He was pretty entertained by the balloon hand that Justin made him, it works everytime=)



Once the nurse came in and cleaned the cut up to prep for stitches, this is what it looked like.


pretty gross! I dont know exactly how many stitches were inside but I am told that its typically more inside than it is outside and he has 6 stitches on the outside. He did so well while he was stitched up. He didnt cry or move or complain, I was shocked! No papoose board for him! Big Man...

OH MY GOSH!! You really should warn people about such graphic pictures! :) That cut was so deep - man! I hope he's doing better and that it doesn't cause too much brain damage. ;)
