First Night As A Family of Four = Luke's First ER Visit

Yes, you read the title correctly. On our first night home with all four of us, things were going very smoothly, until our little man decided he needed some attention and fell off the couch hitting his eye on the coffee table. It instantly started gushing blood, and while it wasn't horrible, it was pretty deep, and I knew he would need stitches. Soooo... Daddy loaded up our boy for his first trip to the ER. I was soooo sad, because between having just had a c-section, and needing to take care of Audrey, I had to miss this event. Luckily, Aunt Tracy was around and went with them, and got some great pictures. Thanks Aunt Tracy! Here is his eye on the way to the ER. Not terrible, but like I said pretty deep. He cried for a few minutes after it happened, but then was skipping around like his normal self. Our guy getting all settled in his room. He looks so cute with his little bracelet. =)

Children's Hospital in Plano was amazing. They did such a great job with Luke. He was able to pass the time with some new toys while waiting.

Getting the numbing cream applied to his eye.

This is really the only time he cried. Poor guy!

It didn't last long though, because Daddy came to his rescue!

And now for the good stuff. Luke was given some Versed (a mild sedative), to make putting in the stitches easier. This is when things got got fun! =)

Feeling good on the med! Luke was fascinated by the oxygen monitor on his toe. Having the Versed made it even cooler. He called it his "red toe". At this point I was told that he was acting kind of drunk! So sad to have missed this. =)

Showing off his "muscles".

O0000h yeah! I can't walk.

Time to move to the bed.

Still checking out the "red toe".

Feeling good. =)

Luke got 3 stitches, and did awesome. Brian said it was quick and he didn't feel a thing.

All brave boys get a sticker!

Luke is now healing up well, and honestly I am surprised we haven't had to take this kid to the ER before! I am so sad to have missed it, but foresee more visits in our future. =) On another note, we are doing great at home with Audrey, and it feels like she has been here forever. Luke loves her so much and has shown no jealousy whatsoever. I can't imagine doing this without Brian. He has been amazing! He basically does everything and makes me sit and just tend to the baby. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband who is such a hands on dad. Stay tuned for more pics of our sweet girl.
