Carnage!

This is Keaton, waiting with me at the Dr.'s office at about 8:00 last night and this is what happened.... After dinner, the 3 kids ran off to the boys' room and were playing together. They were being loud, as usual, when I heard a cry from Keek. This is usual as well, so I just waited to hear what had happened this time. Then out comes Keek with blood dripping down his forehead, past his mouth and his nose. Oh it was bad!! I ran and cleaned him up to find a huge gash and a second little scratch. I guess Sam threw a plastic Nerf gun at him. I can't believe a plastic gun would do that much damage!

Luckily for me our pediatrician now has "after hours" and is open until 9 on weekdays. They numbed it up with some gel and put 3 stitches in the right one. The left one didn't need any. He was a trooper and didn't cry at all at the doctor's office. While we were waiting we got to watch "Up," which I could tell made Keek more relaxed. When we got home, the first thing Keek said to Chad was "Did Sammers have a time-out?" I don't know if Chad really gave him one or not, but he sure deserved one. Then as I was tucking Keek in bed he said, "Tomorrow we can pray for my head, that it will feel better and that Sammers won't be mean." It was very cute how he realized without any prompting from me that we need to pray that his cut will get better. I guess he is listening when as a family we pray for our friends and family that are hurt and sick.

Today he is doing just fine and wanted to go to school. Oh, I tried to get some after the stitches shots, but the lighting was really bad by that hour. He does look much better now.
