ER


Deacon has joined the ranks of "Robinson boys who went to the ER for an injury before they were two." Last night as Sara and I were getting ready for diner he decided it would be a good idea to climb up onto the dining room chair (this is not a new idea for him he likes to spend the bulk of his time climbing on things) which usually works out in his favor as he is able to reach food and other things of interest. Well last night gravity won and he slipped off of the chair knocking the back of his head on the way down. Sara was there right away to asses the damage; once it was determined that there was blood coming from the back of his head she lost control of her scenes and was going strait to the hospital without further discussion. Enter stage left "Me." I grabbed a rag and tried to calm Sara down "lets have a look at it before we head off to the hospital sure enough there was quite the gouge in the back of his head, so we loaded all the kids up and headed to the ER. (We are currently watching our niece for a couple weeks) For anyone who wants to know it is much better to go to the ER at 6:00 p.m. then 2:00 a.m. as you get through much faster. It took less than a half hour and he was stapled up and ready to go home. Deacon was back to normal and trying to climb the chair again that night. This is the second time Deacon has been to the ER (first was for whooping cough) and only time will tell how many more he has in his future. My bet is that he will stay ahead of Olson in the competition.
