Last night, Danny was setting up his “band member” on Guitar Hero. I was laying on the couch watching. We had banished all the kids upstairs for quiet time until bedtime in 1 hour (8pm).
Ben is always jumping off the bunkbeds. He will jump from the top bunk to the floor. They do it all the time. I don’t really care other than they rattle my ceiling. Well… last night we heard the thundering boom of what we assumed was him jumping… he would have been in trouble because they were suppose to be quiet.
It was then that we heard the screams of horror that EVERY parents know when something is wrong. How many times have I blogged about that sound this year! Geez! They were all screaming OH GOD! He’s bleeding. Oh Jesus! Oh God. Get Mom. Dad.. he’s bleeding. It’s kinda funny now. Caetie heard it too and beat us there. She started yelling and screaming. lol I was last because I was laying on the couch. I didn’t even see Danny’s feet hit the steps. I think he only took 3 steps and he was up there. lol
Ben got passed to me. OH MY GOODNESS! He had blood… BIG THICK CLOTTY blood gushing out his nose from the cut and from inside his nose like a horrible nose bleed and from his mouth. It was smeared all over his face, it was horrible. It looked bad. But just looking at the cut wasn’t so bad. I yelled for rags. I was already covered in it. Danny brought me 3 rags. One was instantly covered. I got him cleaned up a little bit. It was just pouring our his cut. I pushed on the cut and looked. OHHHHHHHH… it was deep! I told Danny we had to go QUICKLY cause he was bleeding too much. Before we walked out the door that had stopped quite a bit. It was still a big cut and needed sewing.
I yelled for Caetie to get my purse and camera. haha. Priorities people, priorities. You ALL know you want to see pics. I did, however, forget to ask her to throw by bra upstairs.
So I wore Danny’s hoodie all night and burned up. UGH!
Long story short…
They got Ben back, CT scanned his head for fractures, put him to sleep to have the plastic surgeon sew him up, and sent him home after he drank some apple juice. He got 2 stitches inside and 4 on the outside. He didn’t break anything… but he did cut all the way through his nose into his nostrils and then through the inside of his nose almost to the bone. That is why he was bleeding in his nose, outside his nose and in his mouth.
I will let Danny tell the HILARIOUS stories of him being STONED and seeing things and laughing. It was too funny.
Here’s the pics….









He slept good last night… this morning he got up and snuck into the fingernail polish and painted his nails pink! Yeah, he’s back to normal.
