4th in the ER



Happy belated 4th! I hope everyone had a wonderful time. Our holiday was a actually a pretty good considering that we did spend 2 hours in the ER. We didn't have any firework accidents but a swimming accident instead.

Braden had a canon ball misfire and hit the side of the pool. OUCH! He has three stitches on his little chin and has orders to stay out of the pool until they are removed. He is really lucky that it only took a few stitches.The doctor was concerned that he might have broken his jaw but everything seems in tact. He is a little swollen today but hasn't complained about any pain.

Braden was great through everything. He was totally calm once the bleeding stopped and totally hysterical while it was bleeding. We pulled him out of the pool and was screaming. "I'm going to die! I'm going to die!" He doesn't handle blood well.

Once in the ER, his only concern was getting back to Nana's to see the fireworks. Which we did! They waited for us and then we enjoyed a great show and some wonderful sparklers.
