Ross VS. Nightstand





So today was a good day for the most part, toward the end of the day I started to feel pretty crappy since I think I'm getting sick. We were getting ready for bed, I was getting kids diapers ready for them and then it happens. I hear Ross start to scream my Dad is saying that was a big boom it will be okay. I run down the hall to see Ross siting on my Dad's lap with a bloody head. He had fallen head first into my Dad's nightstand. After looking at it I decided that he might need stitches, since Pat was in the shower I ran downstairs and told him to get out now that I needed him upstairs. I told him to bring the clippers with him as well. When Pat got upstairs we shaved a little bit of Ross's head and both agreed that he should be seen. So I had to call the advice nurse to make sure we had permission to go to a non Kiaser hospital since the roads are bad and it's 19 degrees outside. They said that was fine due to the weather, thank goodness. So we went to the Forest Grove ER, when we got there we were the only ones there. That was nice. The Dr. came in and looked at Ross and said that he needed it closed up. After talking with the Dr. about what was going to be the best way to close it we ended up going with staples. So Ross has four staples in his head now. He is asleep and resting now and will have the staples taken out in about eight days.
