The kids went with Nana and I to the Hair Salon for appointments. It wasn't planned that way, but it worked out well. Once we were done (about 2 hours later) I decided to treat the kids to McDonalds to let them run around since we had to run a few more errands.Everything was going great. Kids ate, made crafts, playing nicely, I met a woman moving into our neighborhood, then ... CRYING!!! Daniel was climbing up the cargo net and fell backwards (he says another kid pushed him) and hit the back of his head on the edge of the plastic floor. I picked him up and tried to comfort him, but he kept screaming. Then I noticed blood. It was difficult to find the source of the blood, but we found it at the back of his head. It looks like he shaved a little skin off the back of his head when he fell. It has been bleeding off an on, but it doesn't seem to hurt him too bad a few hours later.
And, no, we didn't run any of our other errands. Maybe tomorrow.
** Update ** When Brian got home Monday night and saw Daniel's head he was really concerned. It was still pussy and bleeding a little and you could really see the "raw" flesh. Without it really bleeding heavy, you could see how deep the cut was - not a skin scraping like I originally thought. Kinda gross. So, Tuesday I made an appointment w/Dr. Dickerson. They cleaned the wound really well, but otherwise left it alone. She told me that if we'd come right away to her, she would have either stapled or glued it shut, but since it had been 24 hours, it was better to just let it heal. Her orders were, keep it dry & clean, put ointment on it, and keep him out of the pool!
