Well after many close calls Logan finally had his first trip to the ER this morning. We went to speech class this am and as we were getting up to go to the rug Logan's chair tipped back. He fell back and hit the edge of the cabinet. I didn't think much of it at first since Logan always seems to bounce right back. As soon as I picked him up I knew we needed medical attention. (I will spare you the gory details.) The teacher shoved some Kleenex on it as I tried to fumble for me keys and head out the door. I was trying to figure out how to apply pressure on it, have him in the car seat and drive. Thankfully, there was a towel in my car so I created a turban like contraption and drove the 2 blocks to the hospital.
We got back to the room pretty quickly but Logan gets bored easily. After they assessed him and put on the numbing gel we had to wait. After 4 trips to the potty (more on potty training later) and 3 laps around the hospital they were ready to proceed. I was feeling so bad for the little guy but he did so well. He only let out a little whimper as they put the staples in. About 2 hours later we were on our way home. I think I need to invest in AFLAC for this one.

You can see where the wound is here (without being gory)
This is how they kept the numbing gel on. They called him Ninja Logan.

How sad! Im glad he did okay.
He is a BOY!!! expect more.
something tells me while this is the first trip, it won't be the last. if you'd like i can give you brent's mom's number. she may have some advice on how to handle multiple trips to the er in a young boy's life... you're a trooper, missy!
Good grief. How are you all holding up? Remember we love you and are thinking about you.
Ow Logan! Ugh. Glad he's OK. Love you!
That is one darling little boy! I am NOT looking forward to the ER trips! I wish that weren't part of the whole "mom" thing, I can't even handle shots!
