Trey's got stitches, Mom fainted!!

  1. Cam and I have made it 8 yrs without a kid having to go get stitches until now. I am not surprised it was trey because he has acted like he was five since he could walk. he has been able to ride a scooter since he was 1 1/2. He is not careful either and goes soooo fast. We take his scooter with us a lot on the stop sign so that on the way down he can ride it instead of riding in the stroller and there are some steep hills on the stop sign. I love to watch him ride because he looks so graceful and I am usually not scared fo him. but a few days before thanksgiving we had just started our run down and Trey was ahead on his scooter. It was moments later we heard him screaming. He came running back to us with blood shooting out of a hole in his forehead. I quickly grabbed a blanket to stop the bleading. I laid him down and tried to calm him down. Cam ran to get a fitness ridge van to drive us down to the bottom to our car. I took trey down while cam ran to the bottom with the stroller and Kade. Trey had stopped crying before we even got in the van and was fine. I even took the blanket off and thought he might not even need stitches so I waited for cam and then we drove home but I knew I needed to at least take him in to get it checked-i had just been in the instacare one week earlier to the day to find that Kade had an ear infection. The nurse put some numbing gel on his forehead while we were in the lobby by the time we were in the office it was numb and had opened up quite a bit. it was a big hole-started to make me sick. Just as I told the doctor that I was glad cam didn't bring him in because he doesn't do well with gross stuff, I started to get queezy. Then, the doctor started to pull out little pieces of lava rocks! I really started to feel dizzy and sick, so I laid my head down on Trey's bed and the next thing I knew I was being helped to the floor by the nurse because I fainted. I was so glad trey didn't need me he was sooo good. he just laid there smiling. needless to say, he got a helmet for christmas.
