Nothing like that sight to get the blood pumping (pun intended LOL). Oh my goodness Praise God it was not his heart but a tiny boo boo that bled like crazy. Those little head cuts are so very vascular. So sorry that happened, poor girls had to be so very scared, praying for their hearts. Too bad we just cant wrap our little ones in bubble wrap till they are adults.
Glad he is okay. I think the forehead bleeds a lot. My 2 yr old son fell and split his head open from his eyebrown to his hairline and ended up with 21 stitches total. There was tons of blood and it scared us to death. He too is fine and the wound healed up well. Again glad Ryan is doing well and the girls survived!
Wow, poor little guy. Glad everyone is doing well. love you guys!
Oh how this one took me back almost 20 years. My daughter had a very similar cut on her forehead. Your description was all too familiar to me (the gush-the clamping of my hand-the urgent care trip). I’m so glad he is ok!
This reminds me of a story that ends with my putting my little brother’s head under a running faucet and then disappointedly saying “oh. It’s just a flesh wound.”
I needed to hear your talk to the girls about not panicking–I have borderline panicked twice recently. Thankfully Alan was here both times to take control!
p.s. Met your darling brother in law last night at AWANA drop off.
Poor lil guy! I hope he is doing better! reminds me of when we went to Wisconsin dells (home of the waterparks). My husband and I were meeting our whole family there for a 3 day adventure. We left a day earlier and all was well. the day my parents arrived we were lounging by the outdoor water park, My oldest then like 5 was playing on the slides, we were having our adult drinks and suddenly he stood up at the bottom of the slide and was bloody. I didnt have my glasses on of course so I”m like…what is he going on about? He gets closer and had a huge gash on his chin! it wasn’t even bleeding anymore but people were freaking out. I usually am calm in situations, being a nurse and all, and of course THAT was the time my hubby decided to go for a walk to stretch his legs before this all happened so I had to find him, quickly change myself into dry clothes, load him and my mother (who was frareeking out ) in the car, to the urgent care to get stitches..lol
Whew! An outsider never would have known the panic that went through your minds. The first thing I thought of was his heart. Hear I am reading miles away thinking “Henry check his chest!” “Is it OK?” “Whew”..Just a normal life bruise. 😉
I wait with anticipation to see how God uses our children through various trials in life. Sweet girls Leighann.
Poor little Ryan, glad it wasn’t as bad as it looked with all the blood. But still sad he got hurt.
