ER visits

Well, it has been 7 years since children have been in our home. 7 years, and only one ER visit. Cody was 2 1/2, and so sick. It was Christmas. He was so dehydrated he could barely move. Poor thing. He got an IV, and after a few hours, was finally keeping fluids down, and we were released. Now, Jacob has NEVER been to the ER for anything. And, for those of you who know Jacob, you can be just as surprised as me. It is okay. I don't understand how either. Now, a few weeks ago, we had to make another ER trip. This time for stitches. For Natalie. :( Cody was pushing her in a hammock swing that we had set up in the back yard. Natalie and Jacob were in the swing. Cody was giving them underdogs. He would push them from the back, and then he would push them from the front. Well, he was pushing from the front, and was about to run under them, when the swing tipped, and both Jacob and Natalie fell out onto the concrete. Jacob had a scratch. Natalie on the other hand, had a gash on her chin, a hole in her lip, and her two top front teeth were REALLY loose. At first, her chin didn't look too bad. When I couldn't get the bleeding to stop in 5 minutes, I knew she needed stitches. So, I loaded her up, and took her to the ER. They patched her up, and sent us home. A week later they took out the stitches, and now she has a little red line under her chin. Jared is worried that it will scar. I say, who cares? It is a battle wound. ;)
