On September 20th, Owen was playing in the backyard. He all the sudden ran in screaming, he was bleeding from his chin. I ran him into the bathroom, took one look and new I had to go to the ER. Sadly Chris was in Fort McMurray working. So I frantically tried to find someone who could come and be with the rest of the kids. Second call was successful and I left to the ER for our long long wait. Owen was the 7th in line for stitches, and that line was moving very very slow. We got there around 210pm. Waited until 610 to get in a room. There the resident and the nurse didn't think he would need stitches (I only waited in the ER cuz the nurse there said he would need them) It took an hour for them to freeze his cut with some liquid stuff so they could clean it, and then clean it out and bandage him up. We spent most of that hour waiting for them to figure things out. An other nurse actually came at the end and rushed cleaned his wound and sent us home saying she talked to the doctor. We got home just before 630pm. As soon as I walked in the door, the kids said the phone was for me. It was Chris, the hospital called his cell (mine died in the waiting room) and said I needed to take Owen back, cuz the doctor hadn't looked at him yet. blah!!! By then it was just the kids at home. So I assigned the older ones a younger one to get ready and into bed, including leaving Ezra this time, he was so done with hospital waiting, and headed back to the ER. Luckily the nurse that sent me home saw us and took us straight to a room. There was a mix up and she talked to the wrong doctor and that doctor thought she was talking about some other patient. So they were all very happy I brought him back. We only had to wait a short while for the doctor and he said he did indeed need stitches. I had to hold Owens feet, the nurse held his arms and the resident held his head, while the doctor injected the freezing. Owen screamed bloody murder like you wouldn't believe. He was so tired from screaming and trying to wiggle free, that he almost fell asleep while the doctor was putting in his three stitches. Finally got home around 715pm. crazy!!!!***WARNING*** ~~~ if you want to see the pictures, you do so at your own risk!!!
