Who? Ruthie
What? falling out of her bed
Injury involved? busting her chin and cracking one of her rear molars
Where? antique bed, pretty high off the ground, hardwood floors below
When? 3 a.m. two Saturday nights ago
Treatment? 5 stitches
Who else? Mac
What? string from blanket tightly wrapped around index finger, cutting into finger
Injury Involved? loss of circulation to end of finger, possible loss of finger if no intervention (not sure about this but it sounds logical to me)
Where? big boy bed
When? Wednesday night
Treatment? hugs and kisses, scissors to cut string
Mac's wins the Most Bizarre Bedtime Emergency Award. I discovered his finger because I went in to check on him when I was going to bed and I noticed he was sweaty so I tried to pull his cozy car blanket off of him. It kept lifting up his arm, and I couldn't get it off of him- then I saw what had happened. I tried to unwind it gently without waking him, but it was so tight that I had to really work at it and call Jay for scissors. Mac woke up and started screaming and wrestling around, but we managed to get it off and calm him down. Craziness.
Ruthie was very brave at the ER, she only screamed and cried out for mommy when they were giving her the shot to numb the area. Poor baby.

next time demand the gel...no shot necessary!
Dear Mac and Ruthie,
I hope your finger and chin feel better. I love you so much. I would really like to come up there soon. I will run to you when I come visit.
I love you,

Love getting to catch up with your life on your blog. Miss you -- Shay
It always amazes me...you do everything humanly possible to childproof your home, and the little ones come up with off-the-wall injuries in spite of your grandiose efforts of protection. I'm so happy that you went in to check on Mac. Tell Ruthie that I had 5 stitches in my chin when I was 5. We match now. Thank the Lord continually for guardian angels...they work overtime for kids.
Love you guys.
Sally
