Emergency Room!

What started out as a pretty normal day has turned into a not so normal day. Landen tripped, fell into a chair, and ended up with a gash above his right eye. Thankfully Steve was home for lunch and picked him up right away. I didn't see it as I was in the kitchen and my mom was in the living room rocking Brody. Needless to say as soon as Steve picked him up there was instant blood. So, into the bathroom they went while I wrapped some ice in a washcloth to put on his cut. We weren't sure he needed stitches so we cleaned him up, and I rocked him for a few minutes before we decided to take him in. Steve called work and told them he was going to be late getting back after lunch and off he, Landen, and my mom went. I stayed with the twins since I wasn't at all ready to go ANYWHERE! Thirty minutes & 5 stitches later Steve dropped my mom back off at home before taking Landen to Pamida to pick out whatever he wanted. Before they left I ran out to the truck to see him, and told him he could get whatever he wanted and he did. My mom said he was extremely good in the emergency room. The doctor and nurse couldnt believe how good he was. Of course he cried a little bit, but that was it. Here are a couple pictures of Landen with his bandage on. I wil try to get a couple pictures of him without his bandage on tonight.



Eating a sucker he got in the emergency room...notice the spots of blood on his shirt!

He let me take his bandage off so here are a couple close ups.

I knew that you couldn't handle it all without me. You should've left him in RR. I would've never let him fall! :-)
