The week of OWIES....oh, poor.

Dr. Gedlaman had a busy week because of the Lee Gang! First, Jacob slipped off the steps going from one platform to another at the park last Tues. He was super tough about banging his chin and splitting it open...I almost freaked out but stayed calm because HE was so calm. I took him right in to our family doc who's office is also an Urgent Care center. The nurse was sooo great and just squirted the anesthetic on his chin while listening to Jake babble on about dragons and Dora and his dog, Dude. Apparantely the stuff worked because Jacob FELL ASLEEP!!! She then began injecting the anesthetic and then Dr. G came in to stitch him up. HE SLEPT THROUGH THE WHOLE THING! So cool.

A couple of days later was Micah's appt to get...um...circumsised. Just saying that word hurts me to think about. His anesthetic wore off sooner than hoped and he was in quite a bit of pain until about 8pm that night. It was soooo sad not being able to console him! He didn't even want to nurse and the only position he could tolerate was flat on his back. Poor baby.

Mia, Mia, Mia. We took the kids to the High School track to ride bikes (Luke is riding a 2 wheel so we wanted him to be able to just ride around and around.) Anyway, the football field was roped off for painting and Mia thought she would cut across the corner of the field to get to Jesse who was on the other side of the track. The rope just happened to be at neck height for Mia on her bike and WHAM---she rode right into the rope and clotheslined herself. She was freaking out holding her neck when Jesse and I saw why...she had the sickest rope burn. It had rubbed all the skin off the front of her neck. OUCH! We went home right away while Mia was asking if she needed stitches too...thank goodness no. She wore a gauze bandage all week and the skin is finally healing. This picture is more than a week after it happened...thank heavens our bodies make new skin!!
