Just got back from the hospital

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!

I'm glad that Dedrick is doing ok and sleeping well. He'll bounce back and be good as new in no time.It's true that boys will be boys

I had my fair share of scaring the crud out of my mom. When I was 3-4 my brother and I were running around and I fell into the corner of the TV and had to get stitches above my eye. The day that the doctor removed my stitches I ran into the fire place and split the same spot wide open again. I really added to my parent's gray hair when I started playing baseball/hockey/soccer...

I am so glad Dedrick is okay. I have two little guys and they are so rowdy...they have had plenty of trips to the ER when they were Dedrick's age. Chin up. It will be okay. You are a great mom for taking such care of your little man. He will be back to new before you know it. (((HUGS))) to your lil' guy and to the rest of you!!

Aw, poor Dedrick, I am very glad to hear he is doing okay. I know I've done that kind of stuff, before. It's really is all part of being a kid..scaring your parents. Trust me, I am still pretty good at it.

You're a great mom! Please don't take the blame on you; it is like someone said "boys will be boys!" ;

btw, I love the names of your kids!

[Cataholic]

WAH! I have one of those at home myself, and sometimes, there isn't any stopping them. I must say, though, it must have been some gash for them to stitch it.

He will be back up to full speed in a day, I bet. I see lots of popsicles in his future. He he he.

[sparks19]

AWWWWW poor guy.

But you probably feel worse than he does..... LOL after all..... he gets to eat popsicles and ice cream. What could be better than that

I hope his mouth heals up quickly though and that there are no more trips to the hospital for this particular boo boo.

LOL I broke my leg in two spots when I was 8 and I was TERRIFIED to go the hospital. I cried and begged the whole time not to go. My mom felt bad that i was so scared but I HAD to go to the hospital. She said that once we got there a young male intern (goodlooking ) came up to me and said "I'm sorry sweetheart but you are going to have to stay over night and get a cast on that leg." I was smitten lol and in a dreamy voice just said "OK" My mom says she went through all that and all it took was a goodlooking Dr and i was putty in his hands lol. So it really is worse for the parent most of the time.
