Awww booboo.. I’m really sorry to hear about you little one. I will certainly keep him and of course you, in my prayers!

I’m so sorry Darcie. Poor Jayce. Praying for all of you. You WILL get through this!

Hugs Mama! Your big(little) guy will be safe! There is nothing scarier. Dylan had two staples in his head when I was 8 months prego with Ellie, talk about SCARY. Not to mention it was the same week we had the Parkfield earthquake here. Needless to say, my nerves were SHOT. Let’s not forget I did say I was prego, enough said. Head injuries bleed like crazy, I was not aware of that. Dylan sat there for the staples, this mama cried. He then decided to clean the waiting room in the ER (@ Sierra Vista) with baby wipes b/c it was dirty while we were signing papers. An eventful head trauma that was.
Anyway, you’re in my prayers tonight, love you….

Great, honest, and trustworthy pediatricians are worth their weight in gold. Do you go to Dr. Hickie? Anyway, I’m glad he’s okay and wish you a calmer, boring-in-comparison rest of the week. In your pretty house decorated for fall. :)
Oh boy. It is this way with boys. Forever. A week or two ago I sent Henry to school with abrasions and cuts to three different areas of his FACE. (Actually, two of them occurred because of playground activities at school). I just kept thinking that someone would look at that boy and call the authorities.
You’re right–it is the testosterone. I am convinced of that. Poor little guy. But it probably won’t be the last time, huh?!

Oh, my. I’ve been thinking about possibly getting bunk beds for our girls someday. I’ve got an impish little girl who will likely give me a run for my money, similar to your Mr. Monkey. Better start praying now… Glad that he’s ok!
Hope all is ok! We have bunk beds too but with cape cod ceiling space- no jumping on these beds!

Glad to hear he’s ok. Little boys do cause gray hair. My 4 y.o. has already had 2 ER visits (broken arm & stitches). OY! Hope the rest of your week improves.

I didn’t realize that this Friday was the 13th!
Sounds like you made a really good call on that CT scan.

I think it’s been a crummy week for most. Maybe this is related to friday the 13th, or maybe it’s that Thanksgiving is just two weeks away and we are meant to be distracted from something like gratitude… At any rate, I hope today and tomorrow are so incredibly amazing for you that you wish it were friday the 13th EVERYDAY!
Today can only be better, right? I’ve had those weeks, too… So, today, quarantine that little man and pad the walls, because today is going to be a GOOD DAY.

Hoping your Jayce is okay. And wishing you strength and eventually CALM. You are an incredible mother.

Rough weeks are the worst. I hope today is a better day, and that things smooth out for you guys!!
So glad that Little Man is okay, head stuff scares me. Glad he is okay too.

Eeeek! Sounds like he keeps you on your toes! I’m glad he’s okay, I don’t like head injuries either!
Krystyn on November 12th, 2009 at 11:39 am #
Oh, I sure hope the week starts looking up for you. I’m glad your little man is okay.

I’m so sorry!!! I hope your Friday and weekend are spotless! ((HUGS))

Darcie – I shared your ‘mothering gig’ post with my mom-friends at work and they said you must have been spying on them at home with their kids! So many moms feel the same way but you have a gift with words to express it so well.

Makes me sad that my little Lucy needed a CT at 4 months old. But with surgery looming she needed it. Don’t want the doc to cut blindly or anything.
Praying the sun shines through all that rain for you.

Oh, my dear…we have the “God likes to plop all problems at once” issue here, too. :) Think of it as a testing week…testing your patience, your trust in Him that all will be fine, etc. :)
We had a little ER trip with our testosterone-filled 15 month old too, about a month ago. I know it was the first of many, and I’m pretty sure he’ll make me go gray within the next year or so. :)
