Lucas' Face Plant


You know when you hear a thump in the night, then crying, then footsteps running down the stairs? Yeah. Except this time, the runner was not the crier. The runner was Ethan, reporting that "Lucas is bleeding all over the place!"

Reason # 493 to have this hip surgery: I can't go flying up the stairs to help Lucas. I have to wait until Mark goes up, assesses the situation, cleans him up, and brings him down to me. It feels like an eternity! Two eternities! 

While Mark goes back up stairs to clean up blood, I snuggle with my baby. Turns out, Lucas rolled out of bed on to the corner of his night stand. Busted a hole right through his lip! Luckily he didn't knock out any teeth. It's a facial wound though, and they bleed like crazy. 

Reason # 494 to have this hip surgery: I can't drive him to the ER. Mark has to do it. At 4:00 am.

Can't go back to sleep. Waiting for updates. 





Surprisingly, no stitches. Just glue. Follow up with dentist but teeth were intact! Relief!
