Never to be forgotten

Juju's 6th birthday will be one that she will never forget!!! And I'm not talking about presents! Lol...even thou she did say that it was the best presents that she ever got.
The day started out pretty easy going...the night before I went to the store and bought her flowers and a balloon, little girls like getting flowers too!!!
So when she woke up the first thing that she saw was her flowers and balloon. She loved it! I asked her to wait for Daddy to get home that night to open her presents because he wanted to be with her so she agreed. After breakfast we were all just hanging out when Hayden decided to clime in the computer chair...he fell from the chair and hit his mouth on the table that I use for scrap booking. I picked him up quickly and just held him tight without looking at his face...he wasn't breathing so I knew that he was hurting because he's usually a pretty tough little guy.
So after a few seconds I took a look at his face and he had a pretty good size cut on the left side of his mouth, started on the corner of the lip going out and his mouth was full of blood so I thought that the cut was from the inside out. Called Chad to tell him that I was taking Hayden to get stitches, he then called our pediatrician who said that if the cut was in his lip area, and it was, then we had to be seen by a specialist because if not stitched right his lip could heal cricked. She told us to go to the Emergency room over at Children's hospital...so we did. Chad met us up there in the hospital and got to take the rest of the day off!!!
By the time we got there Hayden was acting fine again...other than the fact that the side of his mouth was split open. He was running around and checking things out as usual. The nurses there asked if we are sure that he needed stitches, she then checked him out and agreed that he did! That's Hayden for you all........try keeping him quite at church!!!! :) Not possible.
So a couple of doctors took a look at Hayden and after a while they sprayed a gel up his little nose that kept him awake but made him groggy and happy, they numb his mouth and then started the process to get stitches...Hayden for a while thought that everything was funny...drug working on him...but after a while he wasn't so sure...I got to stay with him so every time that he was getting fussy all I had to do was call on his name and he would be fine again knowing that Mommy was right there. They tried to do as few stitches as they possibly could get away with but he still ended up with 3. He was biting on it for a while and they thought that he might bite the stitches off but after the pain killer wore off he did stop...of course it was now hurting! His mouth is still a little swollen but a lot better. As for the rest of the day...poor Ju...after spending most of the day at the hospital we came home and open presents and then took her to one of her favorite restaurants which was very disappointing...service was not the same anymore and after we asked, they didn't even sing happy b-day for her and I didn't have time to make her b-day cake because I was in the hospital all day...at that point we decided to just go home and watch a movie together, at Ju's request we watched the Wizard of Oz. Next day was better for her...Grandparents came over and had dinner with us and we then sang happy birthday and ate cake! Her b-day party with her friends will be when she goes back to school, she's off track right now. Not sure if I really like this all year around school thing. Sunday was easy going and fun...after conference we went up the mountains and let the kids walk around and play...beautiful up there right now w/ leaves changing colors...but cold!

Hugs and kissing better
