Our day in the ER

Oh I guess boys will be boys right?? Last Friday Benson decided to stand backward on the kitchen chair instead of sitting in it. I was loading the dishwasher right by him and the next thing I knew the chair was tipping over and he fell face first on our wood floor. He let out a horrible scream, and I ran over to pick him up only to find his nose bleeding profusely out of both nostrils. It was so sad! He face started to swell up immediately and I couldn't get the bleeding to stop. I called the Dr. and they told me to take him to the ER for x-rays to see if it was broken! So I called my neighbor and dear friend Wanda to come and stay with Brielle and I rushed out the door to the hospital. It was a little hard to drive and hold his nose at the same time, all the while he was screaming his head off. Doug met me at the ER and they took him back at a room to look at him. At this point we realized that he was holding his finger too, and it was already bruised and swollen. So they took him in for x-rays on his nose and his finger. After what seemed like forever and Benson had finally fallen asleep from crying so much the Doctor came back in the room and told us that neither his finger or nose were broken but that they would be swollen and sore for a few days and get really black and blue. These pictures don't really do it justice, but I posted them anyway. He is doing much better now, but I am afraid this wont be the last time we will visit the ER with this child!
