So I was in the dressing room and I walk out and Doug, Brecken and Bailey are gone. So I go back in and change to go find them. I have Taylor with me when I get a phone call from Doug saying he is in the mens bathroom and we need to take Brecken to the hospital. He seems calm so I figure it is a tiny thing. Doug says he "thinks" Brecken may need stitches. So I am not freaking out too bad. So Doug brings him up to the front and shows me. THINKS he may need stitches!!!???? Now granted I am the mom and I freak out a little faster then most HOWEVER I also know how fast things can get infected and how fast things go wrong when the infection is by the brain in which is in my sons head which is where the gash is. Plus being able to see my sons skull....yeah. So a cashier calls 911 (imagine that...someone thinks it is as serious as I do) and Brecken is a little out of it which is again scaring me since I studied sports medicine a little and understand what being out of it after a head injury could mean. The paramedics get there and get him in the ambulance and off we go. They take us straight in and we get a room. Another reason to call 911 people. If you want to walk straight in and not wait for triage then you call an ambulance (luckily we are military and all this is covered). Working in a hospital you figure out what you need to call 911 for and what not to call it for and how to work the system:) Anyways we get in there and Brecken gets wrapped up in numbing gel so they can stitch him up.
Then the fun part. I got to hold Brecken down as they stuck multiple shots in his head to numb him completely and then they gave him 7 stitches in which he SCREAMED through. He was not happy at all. The doctor did a great job on his stitches. They look good and they are healing very well. We go in Monday to have them taken out. So after all that I figured Brecken would be tired and want to go home but he sat up and asked if we could go to lunch. Lol. So we took the poor kids to Red Robin (my kids call it balloons).
This is only 2 hours after the whole thing. The ER was super fast. We were in there for only an hour:) So Taylor told everybody that Brecken split his head open and the waitress brought him an ice cream sundae:)
So yeah it was an interesting day. On a more fun note Taylor finally let us get her ears pierced!! I know a lot of people ask why we did not get it done when she was a baby but I am not into that whole thing. I want my babies to look like...well babies. Plus I never thought earrings looked good on babies. SORRY!! Personal opinion!!! I am not saying it is wrong or anything I just prefer to let my girls want to get it done instead of forcing it on them. She did really good!
She still made faces even thought she said it did not hurt. Lol.
So this weekend my kids got a couple holes in their heads. My kids can really give me a heart attack sometimes. It is only the beginning....
