I knew this day would come

 This was after we came home from the ER. At least he is not near the vent, right?

This morning, early, like 6:30, Hunter came pushing the seesaw through the kitchen into our bedroom. I told him to take it back to the living room. About 15 minutes later we hear him crying and Hannah comes to our room to tell us he hit his head. Derrick got up and went to check on him. When I saw Derrick carrying him I thought, he must had hit his head hard. When Derrick said, "Heather, this is not good, there is blood." I got a little worried. I grabbed a washcloth for Derrick to put on his head. After a few seconds Derrick moved it so I could try to look. Hunter was not really crying anymore and he was not bleeding anymore, but did not want us messing with his head. Derrick gave him to me so he could try to look. He really could not tell anything either so we went and got MeMe to look at it. It was not bleeding anymore, but did not look great. I do not like blood or holes in people. We decided to go ahead and take him to the ER. He was acting fine, talking, and seemed not to be in pain, which we thought were all good signs. He told the nurse what was wrong. He said, "I fall off the seesaw and hit my head on the vent." That is the same thing Hannah told us and what he told us at home when he stopped crying. The nurse put some numbing medicine on his head and took us back to wait for the doctor. As she was taking his blood pressure, temp, listening to his heart/lungs, putting the medicine on his head she would say, "This is not going to hurt, I promise." When the doctors came in they said they would have to wash it out and then decide if he needed stitches or not. They said it would take about 45 minutes for the medicine to numb his head good and they would be back then. We watched TV, went potty, and talked until they came back. When the doctors were talking to Hunter they asked him his name. He said, "Hunter Michael Hood." The man doctor called him Hunter Michael the whole time. Hunter was only worried about where that girl doctor was. The man doctor took the band aid off his head so he could look at it. Hunter just sat there while the huge band aid was pulled off/out of his hair. He never even acted like it hurt to have his hair pulled. Both doctors washed out the busted area and decided he needed 3 stitches for the 2cm gash in the back of his head. The man doctor told him he was going to make him a pillow to lay his head on and that he could pretend it was a Thomas pillow (Hunter had on his Thomas the Train pj's). The nurse brought some books in for him to look at while they sewed him up. He did so good. He just laid there and talked to the nurse about the book pages in the I Spy book while they doctors got him all sewed up. When they finished Hunter sat up and said, "Can I have a Popsicle?" The nurse asked him what color he wanted and of course he said blue. By the time he finished his Popsicle they were bringing us our discharge papers. They told us not to get his head wet today and to give him some Tylenol because his head would be sore. They said we could wash is hair tomorrow and a week from tomorrow to go to the doctors office and have his stitches removed. I hope we can keep him from hitting his head again until it heals. He has bumped it a few times today just being wild and crazy. He is all boy and I am thankful that we made it this long without any stitches or major injuries. I hope this is our first and last, but have a feeling it may be the first of many.
