The Summer of Staples & Stitches

This summer has marked our first 2 experiences with injuries that required more than just the boo boo bear. I just have to laugh that we made it over 8 years without JP having to visit the ER and went 3 times within a few months.

On June 27th, Ryan tipped back on his chair at dinner & ended up in the emergency room with a few staples in his head.  The hospital sent us home with a staple remover too since we would be in the mountains when it was time for them to come out.  It took a bit, but Aunt Erin took them out & he was good as new!

Just about a month later on July 25th, Caitlin was playing with Ryan & Madison having a great time when she somehow got pulled in a corner of one of our walls.  As soon as I saw the damage I knew it was back to the ER!  Some stitches and a Dilly Bar later, she was on the road to recovery! 

What was the 3rd time?  It was actually the 1st.  At the beginning of June Caitlin was playing with a princess crown & it fell apart.  She decided it would be a good idea to stick some beads up her nose.  That officially kicked off the summer of emergency room trip when Daddy took her in to get it removed!


I sent pictures to Aunt Erin to see if she thought it was bad enough to go in.  She immediately said Yes!

A few days later playing crazy with his cousin.  He didn't let a few staples slow him down!

Getting ready for them to come out:

It took a few of us to hold him down.  First Mom attempted, but then it took the Dad & Nana tag team, but they finally were out!

Aunt Erin's next picture sent!

All better!
