5 Kids and 1st ER visit -- Not bad but could have done without it!!!
So about 8:45 last night we had finished FHE and after many late nights lately, we were trying to get our kids in bed. But.... of course they were not liking that idea and thought it would be more fun to be completely disobedient and keep escaping out on the deck and down onto the trampoline!
Funny thing -- my Relief Society lesson this Sunday is on Obedience!
So at one point when they ran outside to escape us and disobey, and shut the door behind them. Well... William was standing near and had a finger in the hinge part of the door. Yep OUCH!!! When I ran over to pick up screaming William I saw his finger that was dripping blood all over and his finger nail that was ripped completely out of the nail bed and barely hanging on by a thread by the tip of the nail.
So me being the mother of 5 children had no idea what to do so I had Rich frantically call the ER doctor across the street ... he said to run him over so he could look at him. Once over there he gave us the unfortunate news that we needed to take him to an ER. LOVELY!!!! Just what we wanted to do at 9:00 at night when all the other kids should have been in bed!
So off we went to Primary Children's ER where we saw countless nurses, residents, doctors and everything else in the ER!!! They took x-rays which all looked good and then made us soak it in some stuff. Then hours later --- they came and gave him some stuff to make him loopy and then put him on the table wrapped him up tight and shot 2 shots into the top of his finger to numb it while they then proceeded to push the nail back up into the bed and stitch it back on! Yep it was tons of fun!!! Now he has a nice splint and bandage all over it and will eventually lose the nail but keeping it on for now they said will help create a healthier environment for a new nail.
So when we finally got home about 1am and got him settled in bed, I got in bed about 1:45 just in time for a huge lightning, thunder and rain storm to start that was soooo loud and made something go crashing down of the shelf in our family room. So then the storm woke Joseph and Eliza up and they were in our bed! Basically I didn't get to sleep until about 3:30 and then William woke up screaming at 5am!
I LOVE BEING A MOM!!!!!!
