Today's Emergency


I guess I should be happy that our overactive Jonah is 3 years old, and we haven't had to visit the emergency room-- until today. I got a call right when school was dismissed. He had fallen, cut his head, and needed comforted by his mom. When I got to school, they had already determined that we needed to go to the hospital. Jonah was calm, and actually, a bit excited to visit the place with the "echo stairs." Mike was able to meet me there and help-- thankfully.

Jonah did okay. When the doctor asked him what happened, he replied, "My hurt myself." I think the doctor wanted more details! He had actually slipped on the wet floor coming in from recess and cut his head on a rocking chair. The cut wasn't very big, just deep.

He got three staples.

We stopped at McDonalds on the way home. So life, according to Jonah, is good.

Knock on wood...we haven't been to the ER yet. He'll have to come up with a better story for the ladies some day..."I tripped into a rocking chair when I was a toddler" won't sound cool when he is 16.

He's going to be wanting to wear that bandage for days. I'll bring his peanut butter cookies tomorrow. Poor little thing. Cute picture though.
