Trip to the ER


Before

Before


After
Yesterday, Jerry tripped and hit is head on the edge of the table at school.   It took 4 nurses and his mother to hold him down (while he was papoosed in a blanket) to tape & glue his cut back together.  It was only a 3 1/2 hour wait at the ER - record timing last time we went it was nearly 8 hours.  He is in great spirits and was mainly concerned about his blankie which had gotten covered in blood.  I followed through with the promises(bribes) during the ordeal with McDonald's, Ice Cream and a trip to visit the animals at the pet store. The poor kid was starving eating 4 chicken nuggets, a double cheese burger, apple dippers, and fries.   We are asking for prayers that the steri-strips and derma bond hold; otherwise, we will have to go back to Driscoll Children's Hospital for him to be sedated and then stitched.
