Busted Eye!

I am a bit exhausted today.  I fell asleep on the couch last night at about 10:30 and woke up at 1:30. For whatever reason, I couldn't fall back asleep until 5. Luckily, Jadyn didn't wake up until 8 so I did get some sleep. 

Then this morning, Jadyn and I were getting ready to vacuum his room.  I was rolling the vacuum in the room and he got excited and ran into his room, somehow tripped, and cut his eye on his bed.  So, we took a trip to the ER.  The waiting room didn't look too busy so I was hoping it would be a quick trip.  Yeah right, the triage nurse said that there was only one person in front of us to get a room but that there were 11 patients in rooms waiting to see the one doctor that was there. Ugh! On top of it, I overheard some of the parents talking and it seems that they were concerned their kids had the swine flu. I am sure (and really hoping) they were just overreacting.

So it ended up being a 4 hour trip to the ER.  Jadyn was amazing.  He started getting antsy but I can't blame him at all.  After they put the numbing gel on it, he did not want them touching the bandaid so I was concerned how the stitches were going to go.  But they gave him some medicine to relax him and it really worked.  He didn't cry or complain at all while they did the stitches.  It turned out to be 8 stitches. As soon as we got in the car, he totally crashed.  He was so exhausted.  When he woke up, he was SUPER cranky. I can't blame him since the meds were probably wearing off. We decided to take a drive to calm down and then he played with his friend Austin and he has been great since.  I can already tell that it is going to be very black and blue tomorrow! 

Well, let's hope tomorrow is a better day!

Here is the busted eye...

And waiting for the numbing gel to kick in...
