Rohan was 1st. The first of the boys to have an accident requiring a doctor's visit. I was making lunch this afternoon and all is fine. I hear Rohan Wailing from the living room and he runs into the kitchen holding his head. Now, he's pretty dramatic anyway, but this was a genuine pain. He pulled his hand away and there was blood. The mom in me stepped right up and grabbed an ice pack, i pressed it against the cut and made him lay down. The FREAKED out mom in me wanted to start crying with him. Except for the occasional scrape, i have never seen my sons bleed, and i didn't like it at all. After i got him settled i called Eric to see what his thoughts on what i should do were. On one hand it looked pretty bad, it looked pretty deep and was bleeding pretty bad. On the other hand, everyone knows head wounds tend to LOOK a lot worse than they are, cause of all the blood. So Eric came home and we made the decision to take Rohan to the doctor, just to be safe. Poor Aragorn was just kinda rushed about in the flurry that was our mid-afternoon. But, he was a trooper too, making sure we would tell him how Rohan was as soon as he got out of school. After dropping Aragorn off we took Rohan to our pediatricians office they got him right in, and cleaned him up, he didn't even wince. The Doctor came in and Rohan told him what happened, that he was playing with his balloon and tripped into the TV table. The dr sorta smiled a little (apparent this particular injury is VERY common) he said Ro wouldn't need stitches, and instead used a glue. We were all very happy about that. Rohan was GREAT he handled the whole thing like a trooper. After enjoying a lunch of requested pizza with mom and dad, dad had to go back to the office so Ro and I hung out. He rode his bike for a while, and we played at the park. He got just a little spoiled, but i think he deserved it. We're just glad he's ok. The doctor said he will definitely have a black eye, and it will probably take about a week for the swelling to go down. He's a pretty tough little cookie.
