I knew it would happen eventually. Caleb was the first child we've had to take to the ER (thank goodness!)Sunday afternoon, as he was putting a toy away, he fell off the chair and hit his head on the computer desk. I heard the cry from the other room where I was feeding Ava, and knew right away that he had really hurt himself. My fears were realized as I went to comfort him and saw the blood coming down the side of his ear. He must've landed on the corner of the desk, becase he had a gash that looked pretty deep and almost like a puncture wound. Anyhow, fortunatly, one of our college students, Katie, was still at the house and stayed with Haleigh and Joshua while Shawn and I took him to the ER. The nurse thought they'd need to use stitches since it was so close to the ear, but we were relieved when the doctor checked him out and said that Dermabond (glue) would be fine. He was very brave, and got to have powdered donuts as a treat afterward. The glue will disolve in a week or so, and we were very thankful that it was not worse.
A close look. Small, but deep.
