ER with Carson

So today was our first trip to the ER with Carson. Well our first trip for injury with either of our kids. Today Carson was playing peek a boo with a blanket and get turned around and fell. Unfortunately he fell right on our cement fireplace. It instantly bled and was split wide open. I was a bit frazzled you could say and I called the doctor who told us to take him to the ER. The tricky part was that Chad had our car and I had Jana. (Our car does not hold 3 car seats and for that matter I don't think I wanted to go to the ER with 3 kids. So Chad came home our neighbor was nice enough to bring him back to school and my wonderful sis in law came to the rescue and watched Mason and Jana while we were gone. Long story short. Took 30 mins b/c of traffic to get there, sat around for almost 2 hours (mind you they wouldn't let me feed him), finally saw a doctor and he put 3 stitches in Carson's lip. It sure could have been worse. They were able to strap him into this thing that made him look like a mummy (which he didn't care that he was in, thank goodness he is so laid back), gave him 4 shots in the lip (gross) and sewed him up. He did awesome, he is such a tough guy. Well, that was our day......we hope for a better (injury free) day!

The boys came out of the surgery pretty well. Carson did awesome. He left with the nurse and never once cried. Chad and I felt a little bad about how well he was with leaving us but that's okay :). When he came back he wasn't crying either. We fed him a bottle and then he fussed a little bit trying to get comfortable on Chad and then slept almost until the time we left. He was such a trooper.

Mason did pretty well too. Chad went to the operating room with him and his new Mack truck. Apparently to get him to take the mask they put the mask on Mack and McQueen and then Mason took the gas. Chad said he did really good only fought it a little . He cam out of surgery and they came and got me to go to the recovery room where I find him throwing himself all over the bed. They say that is pretty normal because their head feels so funny and they do not know where they are. I got into bed with him and they were able to give him some morphine and he settled right down. Actually he slept on me for about an hour. (which I loved)

We were able to finally get Mason to wake up take some water and get dressed. They gave each of the boys a stuffed animal and escorted Mason out in a wagon.

We were just so happy with how the day went. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!!

The Boys

Both boys are having surgery tomorrow morning. Carson is getting tubes and Mason is getting tubes put back in and his adenoids taken out. If you could send a prayer their way that would be great. We'll keep ya posted. Thanks!

New pics and Carson 10 months

Carson is now 10 months old. He is moving so much. He is almost walking. He has taken 11 steps in a row. That's all he wants to do all day long is walk, fall, walk, fall. It is so funny. He also loves peek a boo and giving raspberries. He is growing way too fast! He also is a biter and book/paper eater just like Mason was. Those 6 teeth get a great workout everyday

Finally Updating - Carson 9 months

Carson is nine months old now and is trying to walk everyday. He has got great balance but hasn't got the stepping down yet. He also has 6 teeth not. I love baby teeth smiles, they are the best. He is doing well and is such a joy to be around everyday. He is becoming a daddy's boy. Every time Chad walks away he cries. He loves him so much. Mason is doing awesome. Growing up way too fast and saying so many new things everyday. It is so hard not to laugh at him sometimes.
