The boys LOVE to hide under the covers in our room together or individually. They are under the covers and I pretend to be looking for them and I start to get dressed when Oliver falls out of bed crying as he hit his head on the bedside table.
Of course there is blood but he was cushioned a little by our comforter. Once I get it to stop there is a 1/2 inch cut, but not deep. I think I need to take him to the ER to have it glued shut, BUT I would have to take all 3 kids with me. Doesn't that sound like fun? I called my friend Sophie and left her a message. I called NHS direct and they of course thought he should be checked out just in case. Sophie, thank heavens, calls me back and offers to watch Harrison and Lily.
I knew Harrison would be thrilled as there are 2 other boys at her house ages 20 months and 3 years old. I also knew Lily would not think this was a great idea initially at least. I decided to try it out. I left them at 10am. After taking a taxi to the ER we were finished by 12:15pm with a super glued cut on his head. No permanent damage done and OIiver was very very Brave YET AGAIN! Harrison and Lily had a great time building and playing in their garden. She still wanted Sophie to pick her up even after I returned with Oliver. Yeah! I was quite thankful.
Oliver has no fears of the ER. After he fell and he was calmed Oliver said, " I guess we have to call a taxi and go to the doctor again" with a BIG sigh.
They all are taking a nap this afternoon after this morning's ordeal. Below are photos of Oliver afterwards outside the ER. I thought after all our trips there the building was photo worthy. I am ready for Michael's return home tonight.
Oh, Sarah! Can't believe how many times you've been to the ER. They probably know you by name when they see you walk in! :) How much longer are your parents there, and when do you come home? Take care...
