tuesday, june 22, 2010. so, as my previous post stated, the day started out ok considering joshua and i are super sickly. the boys spent much of the day keeping each other entertained. joshua had pushed the couch and coffee table closer to the stereo so he could plug the computer in and get better volume for his movie. abe was playing on the arm that is usually up against papa's piano chair. he was monkeying around and rolled off it. levi's the one who saw how it happened. i just caught it out of the corner of my eye and heard the smack of his face meeting the ground. he was screaming and crying:((( joshua swooped him up and did the first inspection. i freak out at blood. i saw he was bleeding terribly and immediately went into dilated pupils, hand shacking, heart racing mode. i thought for sure his teeth were dislodged, but neither of us wanted to check them at that point. abe wouldn't talk and just wasn't himself. it reminded me of the time levi rolled off our bed and fractured his skull!!! within10 minutes he was asleep. i called the doctors to see if we needed to wake him. she said wait an hour or two, but look for about 50 scary signs over the next 24 hours. joshua had to leave for his doctor appointment a half hour later. i was afraid to be alone, thinking something could go wrong while he was gone. but, in the end he was totally fine. i guess his lip broke his fall. pour kiddo.
trying to get abe to smile so we can see his teeth, but he was not having it. we just kept giving him ice to suck on.
it HURTS just looking at him.
the nurse said i couldn't give him any pain relief because it could mask the symptoms.
luckily levi conked out too.
sleepyheads.
just minutes before i was supposed to check on him he ended up repositioning himself, so i knew he wasn't totally out of it. he ended up waking up in true abraham form. puffy lip smile on his face. then he just kept running his tongue back and forth on his lip. after that it never seemed to bother him and by the next morning his swelling was totally gone.
