I had to rush Justice to the ER for the 2nd time in 2 weeks last night. The 1st time he fell off of a stool while playing the Wii. He landed head 1st on the entertainment center in front of him - right on the carved corner foot. He cut his forehead open to the bone. David was in Tucson, so I had to call my neighbor Carrie (Thank you so much Carrie!!) to come over and watch the other kids so I could rush Just to the ER then. His whole face was covered in blood. Davide had my camera so no pictures... not that I was in my senses enough to think anyway... Justice had to have every layer of the tissue in his head stitched closed. He had a tone of stitches!
This time, just 2 days after Justice had his last stitch disappear, we were eating dinner. I got up to put my plate in the sink. That is when disaster struck. Justice fell out if his chair some how and hit the back of his head this time. It hit a vein or something because he had blood squirting out in pulses. WE quickly put pressure on the gash and David took Justice and me to the ER. We were there for a long while.
The doctor was a condescending jerk that felt the need to give me a lecture about how I raise my children. We passed a few words during the examination. I think something I said must have hit him because when he came back in the room to staple Justices head his tone and manner had drastically changed. I just let it pass...
So now Justice has 2 staples in the back of his head. Luckily no hair had to be shaved off! I was a bit ticked that they didn't numb him enough. Next time.... different ER!
