May came in with a BIG hit !

Well here we are already into the month of May and let me tell you it came with a BIG hit...literally! On may 1st Gabe fell off his bike coming from my neighbors. He smashed his face into the cement in the driveway and OMG....i never seen sooooo much blood in my life ! It was pouring out his nose & when he opened his mouth to cry, it began pouring out of his mouth! Like a water fall that you would see for Halloween . Of course I ran to his aide picked him up , went running for my kitchen to get paper towels to help control this bloody waterfall. In the process got my shirt a bloody mess , and after 6 hand fulls of dripping wet paper towels I realized I couldn't stop this waterfall my self ,and my son has broke his nose..I start to imagine of him looking like quasi modo as an adult ! And pray to god he's not disfigured and can be fixed. So we head to the hospital, where the nurse shoves a large pillow case in his face , attempting to stop the waterfall herself .After 30 minutes & alot of blood loss the waterfall stops..the nurses clean him up & the doc comes in to asses the damage...He's fine ... No cutes , No broken bones, No lose teeth , Most importantly he's not going to be disfigured! So during this process I have learned ...a child can lose a shit load of blood and still be OK , face trauma isn't always as bad as it looks and no matter how hard you try to keep your child safe they still need to fall. ! A lesson I don't want to repeat!!
