Trip to the ER

Those of you who have FB know that I had to take Caden to the ER last night. We had already had a busy day. Both boys had to go the doctor, Caden's 9 month visit and both of them had to have their ears checked after their ear infections. Then we went to Target and the post office to get my passport renewed. We came home and had a good afternoon and then went to the gym. When we got back I was trying to put the gate up so that Caden didn't climb up the stairs (again). He was getting in my way, so I stuck him in his high chair w/out the tray (there's a mini tray under the one that comes off). Anyway, I was fixing dinner too, so I left him there a little too long and he fell out. He hit his mouth on the table on the way down and bit through his tongue. There was SO MUCH blood, and I was home alone with the two kids. I ran next door and asked my neighbor to drive us to the ER and called Diana and Johnny on the way there. By the time we got there Craig, Diana, Penny, Luke, and Johnny were all there. They brought Corban home while we stayed in the ER with Caden. In the end, there was nothing to be done for him. If it had been really bad they would have had to taken him to Children's and sedated him to put a stitch in it. I've consulted with two Ear, Nose, and Throat doctors and they've both said the same thing, it should heal on its own. It's really gross though and freaks me out a little bit. In fact, I got kind of sick after everything was pretty much over last night. I felt bad for Johnny b/c he had to deal with me AND Caden.

Caden's check up went well though. He's 40% for height, 25% for weight and 15% for head circumference. He's never been above 50% for anything, which is funny b/c I don't think that Corban was ever under 50%. He also has a little heart murmur, which is no big deal. Honestly, with the stuff that my family has, I'm surprised they've been as healthy as they are! Well, gotta get Nina's hair ready for dance.
