Nicole, don't worry about the shakes now, that's the after-effect of the adrenaline that got you through the situation in the first place. The worst one Lady's Human - my littler-at-the-time brother - ever did was the reason no child I have ever cared for is allowed to jump up and down on the bed or couch. He was jumping up and down on his bed one night and nearly bit his tongue in half - it was hanging on by less than a quater of an inch of skin. Blood everywhere!

But he - and my older brother - both lived to grow up. And my parents survived raising all four of us - I was the only kid who DIDN'T end up needing stitches during childhood! Hopefully Dedrick will leave his stitches alone and not end up with a scar. Don't tell him that - he'd think a scar would be cool, most likely!
