Boo Boo

A few Friday's ago Wesley and I meet up with friends at the Orr Family Farm. We arrived a little early and visited the horse. Wesley loved to pet the horse and "neigh" at him. Once our friends arrived we headed into the farm. After a short photo shoot while all the kids we headed to the train ride. The train was full so we decided to wait for the next train. They had a horse carousel that Wesley loved to get on. He played on the carousel for about 5 minutes, switching back and forth from one horse to the other, when he tripped on the pole sticking out of the center and hit his chin on it. When I picked him up to check out the cut it didn't look that bad, but once I cleaned up the blood I discovered it was worse than I thought. Thanks to all our wonderful friends they gathered up band-aids and more wipes to clean him up. As soon as we got a band-aid on his chin we called Mark to tell him to meet us at the OU Children's ER.

Once we arrived to the children's hospital we signed in and they got us right in. By this time Wesley was so tired from crying for an hour and hurting. We ended up getting his boo boo glued together after two hours of signing in. Wesley didn't enjoy this at all. Wesley slept 20 minutes on the way home then cried the remaining 20 minutes.

When we got home we laid around on the couch and watched a few of his favorite shows. The first few days Wesley didn't mess with the glue at all, he might touch it and say boo boo then whine but thankfully he doesn't pick at it. Wesley hasn't slept well since this happened so we are sure it is uncomfortable.

I was unable to get a picture of Wesley's boo boo when he had the glue on it, because I didn't want to draw attention to it. So when it feel off on Tuesday, 4 days after, I had him to say cheese while in the bath and you can see a little of the boo boo under his chin. Not a very good picture but you can still see some of it. A week and a half later he is still talking about it and is starting to rub it so it must be healing.

Hopefully this will be our last visit to the ER.
