Bumps & Bruises

Preston and I spent the afternoon at urgent care because he got a "boo-boo" at daycare today. Nothing too major, but we had to get it checked out just in case. He was walking outside to go play and tripped over his feet at the threshold and hit his head right where the door frame comes to a point. He has a bad cut and a nasty bruise, but we didn't have to get stitches. They did have to put Preston in some device that looks like a straight jacket to keep him still long enough to be able to thoroughly clean the cut and make sure it wasn't going to require stitches. (I am so thankful we didn't have to go the stitches route because it was hard enough to watch them squirt water on the cut while he was restrained.) Our nurse was very kind and worked well with me and my "active" child.

We met two very nice young girls in the waiting room who were there with their baby sister and were kind enough to allow Preston to "drive" the car toy that he so anxiously wanted to play with. Preston also received a popsicle upon our discharge which made him very happy (so much so that when Daddy arrived, he didn't greet him until after the popsicle was finished).

The picture below was taken after we got home and Preson and his daddy were being silly. Preston looks pretty pitiful here, but he seems to be doing just fine and is sleeping soundly now. (LLR)
