Accidents...

What is with my boys hurting themselves lately! Two days ago, we had just gotten home and I was getting Chase out of the car when all of sudden Kyler started screaming! It was definitely a pain cry, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong. He was holding out his hand, but then kept saying, "Don't touch it, don't touch it!" when I tried to look at it. :o( I thought maybe he got stung by a bee or something. His fingers looked a little pink, but that's all I could see. I came to the conclusion that he must have grabbed the tail pipe on the car. :o( I tried to put some burn ointment on him, but he wouldn't have that. So we tried an ice pack and he didn't do well with that either. I went back to the ointment, Unguentine, cause I knew it would help with the pain. I stuck his hand over the AC vent for about 30 mins or so while we watched videos on my phone. He didn't struggle and had some quiet moment. So after about an hour of crying and screaming once in awhile in pain, he finally calmed down and got used to the ice pack. 

He kept his hand on the ice pack while he ate with the other hand. I let them eat while watching a movie that night. Special treat. ;o)

This is what his hand looked like yesterday. There is a big blister on his palm and one on his index and thumb. Poor kid! He seemed to do fine with it all day yesterday and today. But later this evening, he picked the skin off the one on his thumb. Ouchie! :o(

Then last month, while we were in sacrament meeting, he was leaning forward to put a hymn book awhile and slipped and smacked his nose right on the cubbie that holds them. Of course there was screaming as I'm running him and Chase out of the chapel. Then the blood started coming as we're rushing down the hall to the bathroom. We're pretty sure Kyler has Von Willebrand's, a blood disorder. So he bleeds very easily. He gets a bloody nose at least once a week. So you can imagine how fast he starts bleeding when he's hurt. :o(

Chase got a band-aide one night, so of course, Kyler had to have one. This was his only owie. Haha! He actually kept it on all night. I was surprised. 

Then Chase, later tonight, was pushing one of those little Cars trays (see Kyler's picture above) across the kitchen floor (against Mommy's say of course) and he slipped and caught his lip and tooth on the tray. He has a little cut above his front tooth and a puffy upper lip now. :o( Oh and when Chase cries really hard, he holds his breath. So as I'm splashing water on his face to snap him out of it to get him to breathe, he starts falling sideways (passing out) and bumped his head on the fridge door. I wasn't fast enough to catch him. :o( Poor kid. He wouldn't eat his dinner cause he said his tooth hurt. After some Ibuprofen, he seemed to be feeling better by the time I got him to bed. 

Several weeks ago, him and Kyler were goofing off in the shower and Kyler pushed him a little too hard. He smacked his butt on the faucet as he was going down. Ouch!! He was pretty upset about it. :o(  

My kids are so accident prone lately. :o( I'm just grateful, I haven't had to make any trips to the ER...yet. I'm sure the day will come. I just kind of hope it's when my husband is home to help with Kyler.
