our little mishap...

yesterday- i decided i would go pick jake up from weecare and bring him up to the school for a little while. he loves going to "mama's school". i took him to my classroom and let him get a juice and a snack. i grabbed my copy folder and we headed to the lounge/copy room. he sat on the couch and ate his snack like such a big boy. i only had a few papers to run- so i knew we wouldn't be long. He got bored after a few minutes and wanted to cut. i gave him some scrap paper and a safe pair of scissors to cut with...he got bored again. he saw a dog playing out the window and ran over to watch it. There are three extra desks pushed up against the wall in the lounge. well, jake decided he would stand in the seat of the middle one- which was fine- until he decided that he would stand on the writing part. well of course- it flipped forwards and jake flipped backwards. i'm still not sure what he hit on the way down. (either the floor, baseboard, or other desk) well, he starts screaming and jake is such a tough boy. -he rarely cries over pain...he'll whimper a few seconds and that's about it. i ran over and was trying to calm him down by telling him he was fine- keep in mind that he was still face down on the floor. i grabbed his arm and went to pick him up and my baby was covered in blood. i've never seen so much blood. it wouldn't stop bleeding and i grabbed my phone and ran to my room to get my keys. i called jason as we were getting into the car and said meet me in the emergency room. i was crying and freaking out and hung up on him- no telling what he thought had happened. well- he beat us there. jake had settled down by this point, but his little eye was filled with blood. you couldn't even see the white around his eye...it was horrible. we went in and were seen pretty quickly- the doctor came to clean it up and bandage it while we waited to go get the cat scan. i nearly passed out when i saw the gash. he was fine though...not even upset at this point. then the x-ray girl brought a wheelchair for him to ride to the cat scan room in- he loved this. we had to persuade him onto the bed and she had to show him how it worked first- but my baby was a brave boy. we went back into our room and waited for the results. well- all was fine. they said that the part that was cut was a part of his head where his bones were still young and had not grown together yet...guess this is why it went so deep. he really did need stitches, but she felt that would have been too traumatic for him. they ended up doing the derma band which is the glue. this was the second time jake has had derma band on his face. we spent father's day two years ago in the er because he fell out of his high chair and his bottom teeth went through his lip. he has a little scar from that incident- so i'm sure this one will leave one too. it is about 1 1/2 inches long and just barely cuts into his eyebrow. anyway, after his red popsicle- he was good to go. this was a long post, but i've had to tell the story several times so thought this would save me from having to explain it again and again. although, i do appreciate everyone who called to check up on us...i have great friends :)

-these pics are from my cell phone, so they really aren't the best...sorry.
- and yes, aunt connie...that is a pie in his mouth and i was thrilled we had one in my purse. he sill takes one when he gets upset.
