ER Visit

Well, Matt's worst fear finally came true. Kaden was playing, not even running, but tripped and hit his head against the fireplace. He ended up with a nice gash right about his left eye...talk about heart stopping. Praise the Lord, Matt and I both stayed calm :) and did all the right things, apply pressure, tilt head back, keep the child talking, etc. And Nurse Grandma came rushing over as well. We decided it was best to head to the ER just to reduce the scarring. So after waiting an hour and a half (there were like two people in the waiting room:) the doctor decided just to steri strip the wound together. We were so grateful, Kaden didn't have to get stiches! It was traumatic enough holding him down to clean the wound with antiseptic...by the way he was screaming you'd thought we were amputating...but he was a big, brave boy and did very very well. Matt and I are just so so grateful to the Lord that it was not any worse then it was. No pictures of the wound tonight...but I'll get some documented evidence tomorrow! :) Just needed to tell about our evening. Parenting is such an amazing experience. You can't explain to anyone whose not a parent what it means to have your heart outside of your body, and how you can love and care for a child so much it hurts. It's just amazing to think that God loves us the same way. When we hurt, He hurts with us and longs to scoop us up and make it all better. Thank you Lord for your amazing love!
Jesus loves you all!
