Jinxed By The Kids

The lighting was better this morning so I was able to get some better yet more unattractive photos of Bailee's foot.  Bailee thinks that she shouldn't go to school because of her wound, but I have news for her, she is going.  It should be fine with her shoe.  I'm hoping she can skip gym class today and recess for a few days.

The kids have me a worried now.  This morning Madison said, "First, Ashton cut his lip, now Bailee cut her foot, I'm next, then Mom and Dad."  Ahh!  Then Bailee chimed in and said, "Yeah, I wonder what will happen to Mom and Dad?"  Yikes!  Keep your fingers crossed for us...

Bailee's Foot

Poor Bailee cut her foot this evening.  She and I went to the ER to have it looked at.  I wasn't sure if she needed stitches or not, there was quite a bit of blood dripping from it.  We ended up just having the doctor put medical glue on it to hold the wound closed, that's why it looks so shiny.

It was a pretty stressful evening.  It's crazy how one minute things are fine and the next minute all heck is breaking loose.  I forgot to mention she cut it on a metal door that gives us access to under our house (not that I ever venture under there ;)  Anyhow, just one of those unfortunate accidents.  She was screaming and crying, I was trying to keep my wits together and think of what the best course of action would be.  Poor Ashton was crying and I couldn't really console him because I needed to take care of Bailee.  When she and I left for the hospital, Ashton and Madison were crying.  Once we left though, Madison was a big help and got Ashton calmed down and my neighbor who happened to be in the right place at the right time came over to check on the kids till Jeff got home.

Here's brave Bailee resting on the couch after we got home.  She was antsy to get the hospital bracelet off.  She had to lay on the couch for a little bit to let the glue dry.  We could have gotten stitches on the deepest cut area, but we thought stitches would be such a pain to walk on, so hopefully the glue holds.

Bailee colored this beautiful picture during our wait at the hospital.  One nice thing was, I knew our nurse from our ward and I knew the lady who checked us in and out, from highschool.  She and I were good friends.  It's always nice to see familiar faces, especially during stressful times.  I'm thankful for their extra tlc.

As soon as I pulled out the camera, they all started acting up.  This photo will be perfect for our family Christmas card this year. ;-) 

Too bad this one is blurry.



And in this one Ashton turned away and was being resistant.  There's always next time...

Ashton got hurt this week.  One injury was on his chin, he bonked his face as he was getting off of a rocking horse in nursery.  The other injury was to his mouth.  He ran into the swing set bar while driving our Barbie jeep.  His upper and lower lip were cut and bleeding, he got a fat lip and bruising above his upper lip.  Poor boy.  He handled it like a toughie.
