Caleb's First Stitches

At the end of May we had our first trip to the ER for stitches :(
I was giving Michael a haircut and Caleb was supposed to be playing with his cars.  However, he was jumping on the couch to hit his balloon and fell off and hit the coffee table with his chin.  He split open the inside and outer part of his lip and it was a nightmarish scene with blood!  We doused him in Peace and Calming Essential Oil and he immediately calmed down (thank GOD!). Even the nurses at the hospital were amazed at how calm he was!
Waiting to go back.


Waiting for the Doc.  Caleb made sure to ask the doctor if he was a Batman doctor.  Good thing the doctor was so that he could work on Caleb :)

Hardest. Thing. Ever. Seeing your baby in pain.  They couldn't put any topical numbing medicine on him because of where the cut was, so they had to wrap him like a taquito in a sheet to restrain him and give him the numbing shots. He was such a trooper!!

Popsicles make things better.

On the way home from the hospital:

So much better in only 5 days! Thank God for Frankincense to help speed up the healing process!
