So, it's been awhile since I've added a post. There are a couple of reasons for that. Well, actually maybe one:
-EMERGENCY ROOMS
We took Cookie Monster to the ER while visiting Papa and Mema out of state. Of course, the injury involved Farmer Boy and the Princess, but at least not directly. The three, along with a cousin, were racing through the kitchen when Cookie Monster fell and hit the corner of a cabinet just right.
I never knew head injuries bled so bad. I about passed out from the sight of the blood. That injury required 5 staples and four adults to hold him down. However, he just smiled when they stapled his head.
Right at three weeks later, we took another trip to the ER. Thankfully, this happened at home. That way, we won't have the authorities knocking on our door.
LaRue somehow fell out of her highchair. We think the tray was not latched. She had 2 stiches in her head. She, however, did NOT smile during the procedue. Neither did I.
Three hours after arriving in the ER, I told them I was leaving. I was tired of wrestling with LaRue. I'm sure they thought I was rather rude, but I'm not going to let her down to mess on the floor and my arms were tired!
A third trip to the ER involved the Princess. She came home from school with a huge bulging black and blue growth on her knee. Of course, the dr.'s office couldn't fit her in. Turned out it was just a hematoma. Yuck. I was worried she broke something, which she has done before and not complained for a few days.
So, three trips to the ER within a very short timeframe.
Oh, and just a short time after LaRue's ER visit, we had the stomach flu at our house.
She was the only one to NOT get sick. Nothing like having the two boys puke during a 5-hour road trip.
The biggest Farmer Boy in our house couldn't understand why I was yelling at him as he drove 50 MPH on the interstate. I was holding two cups full of puke and had it running up my arm.
The speed limit was 75.
Now, three of the four kids have pink eye. Isn't life grand?
