Our First Real Emergency Emergency Room Visit!!!
Bret!!
Yesterday is a day I will never forget. Around 9am Bret was running from Darci and fell and sliced his lip on my bed rail. I first thought he hit the vacumn but he told me this morning he hit the bed. Darci says Momma he has a bloody lip and I said ok (we've had them before). Then she says no Mom look and OMG it was bad. Nonnie drove Bret and I to the Nashville ER.Ive Never seen Nonnie drive so fast!! Devyn was here and he and Darci cleaned everything up and went to Nonnie's house to wait for us. We met Wilb at the ER in Nashville (he was at work). When Dr. S saw it he said he wouldn't be able to fix it because it was so bad. He then told us about Dr. Wise who was sometimes in Hope but yesterday he was in Magnolia and he could put Bret to sleep to fix it. Dr. Wise is an ENT and he is very tedious(sp) with his work. SO here we go to Magnolia. I had never been there before but my friend Twila's husband hunts down around there. He was so nice to stay on the phone with me the whole way to make sure we made it ok. When we arrived at Magnoia Hospital, the people there were very nice and were waiting on us. They got us right in and by 2:15 Bret was being taken back for surgery. This was an awful day! I woke up thinking about going Christmas shopping and 5 hours later I am 2 hours from home in my pajamas with no socks and air dried hair (it was wet when this started)with my baby being put under anesthesia! The surgery took around 2 hours. He won't be able to go to daycare all week because of the risk of opening up the wound. Dr. Wise said if all goes as planned it shouldn't even leave to much of a scar! I know you've probably already looked at the picture and I apologize for it being to bad. This was probably the worst busted lip Dr. Wise said he ever saw.
Thanks for eveyone who prayed for us. For Nonnie driving us and Michael for the directions. Thanks Ms. Helen for coming by and seeing us and all the people at Howard Memorial and Magnolia Hospital. Everyone was so great to us.
Bret is back to being all boy today minus me freaking out every move he makes and not being able to eat.
Wilbur said this morning it was like taking care of a glass slipper in a room full of hammers. And that's exactly what this day has been like.
Right before they took him back he says. "I'm really sorry Momma" He was so sweet.
Love you baby boy.

Oh that poor baby! That hurts me to look at it! Hope he's doing okay with it!

Poor little guy! I think this is almost (not quite) the norm with boys! My boys always have bumps and bruises! Will we make it through them growing up? I hope he feels better soon!

Poor Baby! Poor baby's momma! I know how scared you must have been. I'm proud you found a great doctor to fix the little guy up.
