stitches!!!

today started out slow and calm, but quickly went to crazy. i was working on the computer, when taylor comes in crying that elizabeth hit him with the baby swing. (okay, we sent to storage yesterday and got the baby stuff. clothes, swing, blankets, and bath tub) when i looked at him, he had a small slice right above his right eyebrow. when i looked again a little while later, it was really starting to bleed. i cleaned it, and stopped the bleeding for a bit, then cut a bandaid into strips and tried to pull it shut. after calling grandmas, i decided to take him in to get stitches. we got in to see the doctor, he pulled off my strips, and the wound had sealed itself! he cleaned it up again so he could have a closer look. in cleaning it, he opened the wound again. then it came all the way open. he had planned on just using the steri-strips to close it up, since mine had worked so well. but it came all the way open and started to really bleed again. so he decided he was going to put stitches in. he called in some help. we had to hold his head in a vice grip, and lay across his chest with his arms under us (he was not a happy camper). part way through the first stitch, i had to lay my head down cause i was feeling light-headed and dizzy. a second nurse walked in and told me it was time for me to take a break (she took over laying across his chest). in all it took 3 stitches, 2 nurses, and the doctor to get the job done, and a 20 minute wait afterwards for mom (i didn't want to end up on the table also).
when we got back home, i had to lay down and take a short nap. the whole event had left me very tired.
