First of many...

Well, I'm sad to be posting this before Koy is even one but we had our first trip to the ER Sunday night. Koy fell on the corner of the rock fireplace and scared his mom and dad to death. We were pretty sure he would need a couple stitches but after hearing the option of straping him down to a Papoos Board (sounds nice eh?) or giving him a shot of ketamine (or what I call the 50 first dates drug) glueing it sounded great to me! The ER doc felt that it would probably scar a little either way. So, we had to wrap Koy up really tight in a blanket while the dr cleaned it with soap, stretched it a couple times to make sure it would split anymore, and then put about 4 coats of glue on it. Koy was screaming, sweating, and tears were rolling down his cheeks. I was crying pretty hard too when we had to hold him down for so long. Brig nearly punched the dr when he tried to see if the cut would split for the fourth time. We now know the overwhelming feeling when your own flesh and blood is hurting, a feeling we could definetly do without! Monday morning he was up a moving like nothing happened depite the goosegg! It no doubt could have been a lot worse inwhich we are SO grateful. He is almost walking on his own and he is a fearless, crazy kid much like the stories I have heard about his dad. Lets just say I am now fully stocked up on steri strips and demabond glue!
