I Guess It Could Be Worse...

So Brandon took 8 emergency trips to the hospital just to get born, and then an emergency transport afterwords. When he was 12, he had 12 emergency hospital visits...at 13 it was 13, at 14 it was 14...and he turned 15 in April. I thought, oh no! LOL But so far we've been ok. We still are, except tonight he got whacked in the teeth in Karate class and his tooth is loose. Thank the Lord it is the tooth that is already false! Yes, an already false tooth...that would have been the 13th trip, I think, when he broke his wrist and snapped off his front tooth in a scooter accident. In any case, I will be calling the dentist first thing, and let's just hope he doesn't accidentally swallow the tooth in the meantime. You know, like he did the thumbtack when he was 12.

I remember that scooter accident (and the ER too). Yeh, I remember the thumbtack incident too. So congratulations are in order for not having to visit the ER yet? Oh but wait, we still have 8 months to go before next April!

You shush! LOL Actually, thank you so very much for sitting in that ER with me. I can't remember being so shaken up. Not even by the gashed-open-head incident.

(anyone wanna buy a slightly damaged 15 yo boy, btw?)
