The ER...


Do you ever have one of those days that you know something just isn't right? Well that was today for me. I took Cassidy to Church (MDO) and it seemed all was well, I was off to hit the grocery store, clean house and run a couple errands. Well I get home from the grocery store to find out that a friends little girl (4 months) had been in the hospital since Monday but was home and doing better though I couldn't help but think Cassidy or Jason and I were going to be getting sick since we were with them on Saturday and Monday. So that was probably the moment that the pit formed in my stomach.

I went on with my to-do list and ran my errands to come home and find Jason here meeting a guy delivering firewood (there is nothing like the real smell of a fire!). We were standing in the kitchen catching up on our afternoons when my cell phone rang, it was a number with no name. When I saw it I looked at Jason and said great, I bet it's church and something happened. Well, it did!

Cassidy fell backwards in a chair and hit her eye on the corner of a wooden baby doll bed. She was cut and bleeding but calm. Jason and I jumped in the car and went to see our baby girl. She was a bit in shock but calm cool and collected, it was a bit strange. We brought her home and took her to our neighbors for some advice. They have a 3 year old little boy who has had a few facial abrasions plus her brother is a plastic surgeon, so if we were going to have stitches we knew where we wanted to go!

After a few minutes of dissecting the cut we found out the Brother in law was in surgery at the hospital so we headed there, the best part was he was in the house if we needed him. Our visit was actually very quick and easy, we were in the room in less than 30 minutes. Once the ER doctor got to us he wasn't sure if we were going to get glued or stitched. Thankfully after cleaning the wound up he decided that it didn't need either! Yeah. We were sent on our way with a little ointment and a boo-boo band aid. Life is Good!!

Funny thought was while sitting in the waiting room Jason pointed out that he doesn't think he has ever had stitches and I couldn't count the number of times that I have had them!! Let's hope Cassidy follows in her daddy's footsteps!!
