Sorry to hear...there is nothing worse than your child being hurt and pretending to know what to do! You can appreciate this...we had good friends over for dinner, the wine was flowing and I was pysched to have adult conversation while the kids played. Showing off my cute 10 week old baby girl in her sun dress, I looked at her toes to notice that 3 of them were swollen up like sausages and bleeding. While I'm standing there staring at them, my friend looks and notice a hair wrapped around the toes. We pull off what we can while she's crying and all I can think about was that we were just about to sit down to dinner! While I'm wondering out loud what we should do ("is the chicken almost done on the grill?") Dan looks at me and says "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?? WE HAVE TO TAKE HER TO THE ER NOW!" I came to my senses and rushed her off. It's a "hair turnacet" - common with newborns and mom's hair falling out. I was embarassed for myself that I was actually thinking that I should eat dinner first with my friends (and finish the wine by the way) and then take Lauren to the ER. I MUST HAVE BEEN IN SHOCK! At least that's my story. :) D.

I was attacked by a coffee table when I was 6 (I even have the scar and stiches to prove it). In reality, I thought I could fly, but the coffee table proved to be a poor place to land. Hope you are all doing better.

Hope Asher is doing better. You and Gabriella probably need more TLC at this point. When Jordan got a cut on his head and needed stitches, he was over it pretty quickly. I on the other hand should have been treated for PTSD! Glad you guys did some quick thinking and avoided the ER. I understand the underreacting tendency -- except for me it is in reaction to my mother's overreacting!

Awwww.....poor little guy!

AHHH, this reminds me of Elaine stopping to get the Jujubes at the movie theater AFTER hearing her new boyfriend was in the hospital due to a car accident. Totally equivalent to the pre-addict shower, but without the chewing.

Poor Asher!

I always say that about the children of nurses too - the worst care unless some body part is actually falling off! It's funny that you've taken it to the next generation!

A familiar refrain around our house is "I'm not taking you to the hospital if you break your _____ so please don't jump off of the _____ again!"

The last place that we health care providers want to go on our off days is back to the hospital where we work! ;)

Speedy recovery to you, Asher!

Isn't the net wonderful? Poor Asher, probably less traumatised than the pair of you. Now he has a battle wound that will at some stage of his young life make him a hero amongst his peers.

Amazingly told...

Poor llttle guy. Hope he's on the mend and feeling groovy. Very resourceful of you to put your digital camera and social networking skills together so quickly and get answers. Think in the time it took to get your doc friends to open a JPEG, you could have been on hold with some Health Center...;-)
