Camden's First Stitches

Oh buddy, what a night! Todd and Camden decided to go with me to my 3rd grader's music program at the Dunklin R-V Theater. Here Little Man is flirting with the girls before the concert:


Camden had gotten a little restless, so Todd took him out in the foyer. I was standing in the back of the auditorium with the other teachers watching our kids perform. A woman walked up to me and said, "Are you Mrs. Medley?" I replied yes and her next words were "Your son is going to need to go to the emergency room." I immediately went out to the foyer and sure enough Todd was holding Camden with a bloody towel on his forehead. He told me Camden had tripped and fell and another litttle girl had fallen on top of him. He had split his head open right on the eyebrow. It was pretty bad. So we got in the car and headed to St. Anthony's Pediatric Emergency Room. Cmamden was so brave. The only thing he kept saying was, "It dripping, Mommy." The blood kept getting in his eye. He was a trooper on the way up there. Here is the picture we sent to Gamma:

We said Dr. Lui again, the same doctor we have seen both other times at the ER. They decided Camden needed to be put under anesthsia due to how close the wound was to his eye. That was the scariest part-seeing him unconscious. But we knew God would take care of our sweet boy! It was pitiful watching him try to wake up after anesthesia.

Once we got your jammies on and they cleaned you up, you were all smiles and ready to go home!

I have to compliment the staff at St. Anthony's-they were awesome! Papa and Gamma both came up to keep us company and for moral support. We are so thankful God kept His hand on you and that the injury was not life-threatening! He is good!
Here you are the next morning-You and Mommy had an "at home day". You also had a bone bruise on your thumb-they took an x-ray to check, but it was just badly bruised.
