another trip to the ER
last night we made another trip to the ER! after getting out of the tub, carson attempted to get back in himself and slipped, hitting his head right on the edge of the tub. after the initial pain and shock of what happened, he did GREAT. he was so excited to see the doctor. he excitedly cried out, 'hi docdor' to anyone who walked by dressed in scrubs. it was painful watching the procedure (jon was not there, so i had to hold him down myself), they could not use a topical anesthetic to numb the area because it was too close to the eye. they had to inject it with a needle. just like last time, when the doctor was done, he sat right up and was so joyful. i have been worried that these experiences are going to make him not like going to the doctor, but on the way home he was busy talking away to me...'docdor help sarson, docdor fiend.' the whole event got him wired and when we got home around 9pm, he was no where ready for bed! he got to stay up having 'special time' with mama! it was a sweet memory indeed.

oh jenni! My what an adventure... all without Jon! So sorry for you both... it's evident God's grace was on you. I have to say he looks like one tough dude with that eye :-)
He's such a great little guy!! How wonderful that a kid his age can be so joyful saying hi to everyone that walks by. I wouldn't be afraid of him not liking the doctor...sounds like they'll all be his best-friends soon enough!!
Oh, you're an amazing mama! It's clear that his joy is a direct result of yours. Great job!
poor little buddy! :(
but at least he was a joyful little guy when he left!
all boy! =)
well carson and my janelle will have matching scars. once again, he matches her injuries she sustained as a tot. exact same spot above the eye. I know the horror of having to hold her down, too! you have my sympathies. I won't tell you of her other injuries - let's just wait and see what he does next. :-)
