3rd times a charm...hopefully!

I have always known that my boys are very active--but I didn't realize how CRAZY active they are until Reece got stitches last Friday. It seems like every minute I am holding my breath hoping that his scar doesn't get hit/or run into.

I thought I was out of the clear because his disintegrating stitches were just about gone and I only had one more day before it should have been closed. But no...it all started when Reece climbed up his bunk bed and slipped and fell right onto our blue toy bin. Lucky for him, it was just a little bruise on his eye.

Then at 11:00PM I went to check Benson's BG's and tuck the boys in bed. Reece had his feet curled up under his stomach so I pulled them out and tucked him in nice and cozy. I jumped off the bed, went to pick up Benson's BG kit and BANG...I jumped onto Reece's bed to find blood all over his pillow and hands. He somehow hit his head on the side of his bed and re-cut his wound open.

Spencer was very kind and took him back to Children's ER (our 3rd trip in 5 days). They sewed him up with 6 stitches, told us he might want plastic surgery in a year because there will be ridge where his scar will form, and tried to get Spencer to change his story about how it all happened (that's what they do to catch abuse cases).

4 hours later (2:00am) Spencer and Reece came home. Reece had more Benzo's and was so loopy and HILARIOUS! I tell you what--those drugs make him a true comedian. He had to sleep with us that night because we were fearful he might fall out of bed out of lack of stability.

Whoa. Maybe I am good with just girls. I hope Reese gets all healed up before anything else crazy happens. He is so adorable I dont think the scar will be a problem. Good luck packing slowly, Those are some nice boxes! HUGS
