poor nate

poor nate or should i say crazy nate!!! the boys like to make a slide out of their mattresses in their bedroom. they take one and prop it up on the top of jack s bed and slide down. seemed pretty safe and harmless until this happened!! i was downstairs, heard a thump and a scream. i raced up to find a pool of blood on the carpet near an ikea bench that actually has cushions on top but must have managed to hit the corner. blood was gushing from nate's head so i grabbed a towel and started to apply pressure (when he would let me). jack went and got daddy and we tried to calm him down. we first tried the dr's office since it's around the corner, but it was a friday afternoon and no openings. we then dropped jack off at our neighbors (thanks so much to the jensens!!) and went to the ER. we drove with nate illegally in johne's lap and were lucky not to get in an accident or get pulled over. he was starting to get sleepy on the way there, so we kept him talking and looking for things out the window. there wasn't a wait when we got there and we went right back. they gave nate the shots to numb him up, then stapled his wound. he didn't cry or even move the whole time. he was a champ! luckily there was no other sign of head trauma and he will get the staples removed thursday!
