Bam Baides

 Finally a REAL reason to use BAM BAIDES!!!  :)
It makes me hurt just looking at it!  Instantly swelled up!  :\

I was in the bathroom, finishing getting dressed and I hear him cry, it wasn't a really hurt bad cry, so I thought no biggie.  Well Curt went around corner to check and I heard him say, oh buddy, go to the bathroom...

Curt opened the door and I see Thad walk in with his hand to his hand and blood coming down his face, and his hand.  I am thinking, holy moly, really?  So I grab a wash cloth (note to self, it's worth getting a few DARK RED wash cloths incase of emergency...  Must go buy some...  This won't be the last time they will come in handy I'm sure!!!  :)), and got it a little wet and just held it tightly to his head.  Took it off for a sec to look at the wound, and it was just gushing out.  I'm like oh man.  I'm thinking, am I am going to have to take him to the ER?  I was hoping not! 

Curt cleaned the blood off the corner of the counter and the floor..  Thad had touched the door frame so it was on that too, and the floor.  I am not sure how he managed to NOT get it on his shirt, but he was clean there!

After a few minutes of holding the washcloth tightly to his head, the bleeding stopped.  I cleaned it out with some cold water and then I sprayed some colloidal sliver on it.  He immediately asked for a Puppet (which is Muppet's) bam baide.  He used all those bam baides, so I asked if Batman was ok, and he grinned and said it was.

I kept watching him because he seemed a bit droopy and not 100% himself.  His eyes weren't dilating at first either, but an hour later they were.  He wasn't getting sick and I kept him awake.  We had to go to the library and he of course got 4 more Curious George books.  The boy is OBSESSED with Curious George...  Then to the church to FINALLY get Kotah's papers notarized for her trip to Mexico, and then I had to drop off her PASS test at South Potomac Church, then ran into Micheal's to check out their frames.  Then back home...  He is upstairs resting now, not sure if he is asleep yet, but praying he does sleep!  He was getting pretty wound up before bed, so I know he is ok!

He ate his lunch and seems to be just fine!  I just HATE (with a passion) head wounds!  They scare me, I'm never sure if I need to take them to the ER or not...

I gave him belladonna and arnica right away and he put on a little cold pack for a total of maybe 5 minutes!  He said his head hurt, so I gave him more pills.  Praying that he falls asleep and will wake up in no pain...  BUT there is an indent where the corner hit his forehead.  ;) 

I do believe the belladonna and arnica are helping with the swelling too...  I can't fully see it b/c of the bam baide, but it looks pretty good all around it.  Will take it off after nap and check it out!

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
