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!

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...

Judah's Wife Book Review

I received this book from Bethany House for free if I agreed to read and then blog about it. Judah's Wife is by Angela Hunt. I've read a few of her books and absolutely enjoyed and loved them!  I was very excited to be picked to read this book! I've honestly not read anything from the books of Maccabees.  This story is the "silent years' between Malachi and Matthew. I really would like find Maccabees now to read it since I've read this book. This book was amazing! Love being able to read stories that really capture what it was like.  Angela Hunt has done this in this book. I really enjoyed how she told it from Judah's side and Leahs side.  It would go back and forth, but it wasn't confusing at all. Talks about Leahs up-bringing and how she struggled. Her father wasn't a real father figure and in time she realizes how much her mother protected her from her father and his blows. She struggles to truly love Judah at first who was somewhat fo...

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to ke...
