Saturday was rainy, but we had fun playing games, a little Wii, more beverages and an awesome steak dinner (that we actually ate before dark - anyone that knows my parents would know that is really rare!!).
Little did we know that this little window sill would interrupt our camping trip....
The kids were playing in the bunk bed while Pete and I were trying to catch a few more winks on Sunday morning. We heard a thump....some crying....then Hannah yelling that "Matt is gushing blood"!! Wow, we sure can move fast when we need to. Matt split his lip open and off we went to the closest Urgent Care.....He actually smiled on the way there.
The Urgent Care doctor couldn't stitch it, so off to the ER we went. While there his lips were numbed and then he got 5 stitches. He was such a trooper....he never cried or whined once. They promised him a popsicle and he was all about that!!!
The doctor prescibed two antibotics to warn off the nasty staff infection that is going around. He also split his upper gum and his front tooth and lateral tooth are very loose and will likely come out on their own or will need to be pulled. Matt is actually very excited about loosing them since he knows the tooth fairy will bring money. It really hurts Mommy because I know it will be a really LONG time before the permanent teeth come in since he is only 4.
We have had a problem with him pulling at the stitches. Pete told him last night that if he pulled them out we would have to go back....Matt replied "that is okay....that was easy".
It is official.....the entire family has now had stitches!!! I am pretty sure this won't be the last!!!
