Luke's first trip to the ER

We took the kids to Muskogee this afternoon. We were having a great time. We took the kids to the mall, they were playing in the big alligator slide when he fell off and hit his face on a bench in front of him. Mark went over, picked him up and turned around and said "we have to go, now!" I followed him,while carrying Lydia. I caught up to him at the costumer service desk. To my horror, my sweet baby's face had blood all over it!! He had bit through his lip.

The mall cops called the ambulance. They came and said he would need stitches. Luke and I got to ride in the ambulance, Luke thought it was cool that he didn't have to sit in a car seat.
We got to the hospital and after a closer look, they decided he needed stitches inside and out. I took Lydia out to the waiting room while my rock of a husband stayed with Luke to hold him down so they could work on him.

I could hear him screaming. I never want to hear him scream like that again! It was the most pained scream. I broke down, the nurse came up to me and said, not to worry...he was screaming more from fear then from pain. Yeah, I know she was trying to help. It didn't!

After three stitches on the inside and three on the outside we went home. He is doing ok for the most part. Mark and I are both drained! My baby has had his first big boo boo. I'm hoping its his last, I know that's not going to happen....but a mom can dream!
