| Mid-party, Jameson slipped in the kitchen and fell with a cup landing between his chin and the floor. The rim of the cup split his chin wide open. Such a scary situation (it took some wonderful family members to help calm me down). Even though Jameson missed the rest of his party, we had fortunately already opened presents, sang and eaten pizza and cake. Given Jameson's age and the fact that it was a deep facial cut, Urgent care and the most local ER didn't feel comfortable doing the stitches. We were sent to Boston Children's Hospital - 45min drive away. Papa drove, Rob held and comforted Jameson on his lap and I was in the back seat with Ava. Jameson was exhausted! He kept saying through tears "all done...go home, all done" and asking for "wawa, please...wawa". We couldn't let him drink or eat anything because of the anesthesia he was going to get. The accident happened around 5pm and we didn't leave Boston Children's Hospital until after midnight. The anesthesia was first topical and then a nasal spray that turned Jameson into a bit of a drunken sailor. Rob and I held him down and sang non-stop for the 25 min it took the doctor to complete the stitches. The doctor and nurse became very well educated on children's nursery rhymes! Jameson was quite the trooper and one brave little two year old! |
