A trip to the ER


This weekend was a long weekend.  
The kids had school off on Friday and today.  We had beautiful weather, great soccer games, incredible conference talks, and time with our family.  Today for our day off we decided to go on a little day trip.  As we were all getting ready I hear Jude in the room next to me start screaming.  As I rush in I find all the kids frantic and see Jude with blood dripping down his head...and a rather nasty gash.  Now, I have never had to take my children to the hospital for injuries, but I immediately new this would require a hospital visit.  THANKFULLY, Dudi was off and took him to the hospital so that he could talk to the doctors.  While he was gone the kids were all bawling and so worried about him.  They adore Jude.  ADORE him.  I think Davin had a easier time holding Jude down while they glued his head together than I did at home trying to settle the other kids!!!
So yes, we had our first ER visit, and it was no suprise to me that my little daredevil was the one.
Oh, and the injury came from tripping and falling into the corner of a bedpost. 
Learning to walk is rough stuff.
Here's our little patient, all stitched up.

And yes, we did still manage to get our little day trip in too.



We were all ready for bed after a long day.

Oh, my goodness. He is SO CUTE, Mary. We have had to have head wounds glued closed around here, too. I'm sure that comes as a major surprise ;)

It is so sweet that the older siblings were so worried about him.

Thank goodness Dudi was around to be able to speak to the doctors. I know you could have handled it but I'm happy for you that you didn't have to.

Seriously. Jude is SO Cute. That picture of him smiling with his little forehead bandaged captures his amazing little smile.
