Mishaps

This has been a week of accidents for the kids! Hope this streak comes to an end soon! Wednesday, the boys went to a friend's house to play, and Timothy stepped on something and got a small puncture wound in his foot, I had to dig dirt out of it and put a band-aid and neosporin on it, so it wasn't too bad.
Later I was making supper, and had taken the pan off the stove (which is a flat surface electric stove), but it was still hot, and Zachary got up on a stool, and laid his arm right on the still hot burner. He burned about a four inch by 1 1/2 inch oval on the underside of his forearm, to just past his elbow. It blistered up and pulled off some skin immediately. We got it soaking in ice water, then called my mom, who called my Uncle Joe (who's a doctor), who called in some silvadine creme, and we got it all bandaged up. Now I'm changing bandages twice a day... He'd been such a trooper, and not complaining about it too much. It looks like it would hurt really bad!
Then at church that night, Timothy bonked heads with the Pastor's oldest daughter, and Greggory hit the water fountain with his face, and now is sporting a black eye!
Then, to top it all off, Friday, which happened to be our 10th anniversary, I spent about 2 1/2 hours in the ER with Anthony... He was goofing around, throwing his pull-up around in the air, and lost his balance, fell sideways and hit his right ear on the wooden platform under our bed. As soon as I was able to look at it, it was bleeding, and when I got the blood cleaned up with a rag, found that his the edge of his ear had a little split in it. I thought it looked like in needed something to heal back to its original shape, so we went to the ER. Luckily, the doctor was able to repair it with glue - Dermabond - so we didn't have to deal with the trauma of stitching it.
All in all, it has been a pretty accident prone week at our house. Hopefully it will get better!
