Well, we had our first major accident last night, 10/7/08. It was about 8:15 pm, I was doing dishes, and Glenn pulled one of my barstools down on his foot. I turned around to see him standing in a puddle of blood and lots of it. I immediately put his foot under the facet and let cold water run on it. Kirby was hauling a load and Brandon was home with me, thank God! I screamed for Brandon who called Kirby to see if we should go to the ER b/c the toe nail on his big toe of the left foot was hanging and I couldnt stop the bleeding. After debating and speaking with Kirb and my mom off to St. Elizabeth we went. Once we arrived we were told he would need stitches but he had to be put asleep for this, which required an IV. They gave him meds to relax him and then attempted to start an IV, after 6 sticks they FINALLY got one to stay in. They asked me to leave after the third b/c he wanted me so bad. With a broken heart and alligator tears I left the room. Brandon was able to stay with him. I can still hear him screaming, it was the worst experience ever. I cried so hard but prayed even harder. When I got back in the room Brandon was holding him, I felt so proud of my boys. He was finally out and the procedure took approximately 5 minutes. They were fast. He took 4 stitches to the big toe which will fall out on their own. They gave him oxygen and monitored his heart rate and blood purse during the procedure. He has a splint with an ace bandage to secure the foot and keep it from being hit, an antibodic for infection and pain medicine. A little after midnight we arrived back home. Brandon got up at 5:30 to go to school and play a football game on Wednesday. You are an awesome brother Brandon and terrific son. Mom couldnt have done it without you. I made it almost 16 years with never experiencing stitches, Glenn turns 1 and off we go to the ER, I think he is gonna give me a rougher time! Im glad it is over and he is playing again. Now I know how Tammy feels!
