Our first ER trip...

Hello Everyone!

I am sure that you all thought I had forgotten about my blog. Truth be told, I did! Ha! I have been so wrapped up in my new hobby, sewing, and my old hobby, reading. I have not found the time to blog. But I am here now! And do I have a story to tell!
So you all know that my darling little Angels are also known to be quite the little dare devils. Always jumping off the furniture, climbing on top of dressers, running into walls (on purpose!), and oh so much more wonderfully daring things. It is a miracle to me that we have made it this far without a trip to the emergency room. But, that changed Saturday when Cayden busted his head open.
So, of all the daring things my kids are known to do, what happened that made him finally warrant a trip to the ER? Well, surprisingly enough, it was a complete accident. He was getting down out of the glider/rocker and when his feet hit the ground he was a little unsteady so he fell to his knees and his head went forward slamming quite hard on the bottom corner of the dresser. It just popped his little forehead right open. Nothing too big but deep. Deep enough to receive 4 stitches! He handled it quite well. Of course he was numb when they did the stitches. They had strapped him in a harness of sorts that of course kept him from moving. So that did make him scream for daddy the whole time. While Mommy watched from behind holding my breath and tensing up so much that I nearly threw up and passed out. I sat down in a chair in the corner of the room and when the Dr heard me trying to catch my breath she told me to leave the room! Ha! No way! I was fine though. I survived and so did Boogs. He was back to his old happy self moments after they unstrapped him and handed him to Daddy. I had the worst tension headache Saturday night. But I was overall impressed with how we all handled the first ER visit. Hope to not go back for a LONG time though!

Things are going well here at the Keenum house. We are all still very much in love with each other! Everyday is such a blessing! Counting down to the birthdays coming up. Cayden will be 2 on November 13th! And Kaylee will be 3 on December 18th! It is so surreal. But we are loving every minute of it!
I hope to update this blog more often. I will at least try. :)
Love you all! God bless!
