Poor J had an accident while jumping around. While standing on my dresser he was excitedly telling me how big of a jump and trick was was going to do onto my bed, when he accidentally stepped off the side of the dresser with one foot, hit his groin on the side of the dresser and then caught his mouth on the open drawer of my nightstand. All the while I am nursing Wyatt on the bed. I knew it was bad before I even got to him. So I quickly, but gently laid Wyatt down, swooped Jesse up, noticed a slit in his lip, ran into the next room and frantically called every number I know by heart to get someone to come watch my other kiddies. Finally my dad picked up and ran down. Then I called my bro-in-law, who is a fabulous surgeon, to see if he could stitch him up. He didn't answer so I called my sister and she said to just head down to his office and she would call his nurse. So I stuck J in the car with a rag full of ice in the car and raced down to Ray's office. Once there we got the typical Ray--4 Star treatment. As soon as I walked in, we were taken back and Ray had him stitched up in about 10 min. Beats hours of waiting in the ER right? Plus we had the advantage of a highly skilled surgeon putting J's beautiful face back.
J was a stud through it all. As soon as I mentioned stitches he calmed down and said it wasn't so bad, he wouldn't need stitches. Then after he said, "Mom, Ray's a way better Dr. than our other Dr. I couldn't even feel it when he gave me a shot. The other Dr. is way ouchy." I was trying to be calm and tough, but while I was holding his hand and watching Ray do his handy work I almost passed out. So I went and sat across the room with my head between my legs and J did it all on his own. That's my little man.

You ROCK Jesse! And Chels, you aren't so bad either! I am sure the stitches won't keep him down at all!
I forgot to say that I am still surprised that none of my kids have had stitches. Although i am glad since I will be the one sitting in the emergency room! I am sure Kyle will be the one to get them first. The kid has no fear! Tell Jesse that Rhino and Kelsey say hi.
oh poor guy. That is scary. What a little stud.
oh poor jesse. what a champ for just sitting through it. so nice to have ray be able to do that. dr's in the family are the best.
oh no! so sad! I am not looking forward to the day that Jack has to get stitches...and with Derek's fearlessness and my clumsiness I'm sure it will happen!
That was an eventful afternoon! Poor little guy! That is funny you almost passed out though. I can totally see you white in the face! Jesse must have gotten the gene to withstand needles and blood from his Dad! :)
Poor Jesse--and poor you! And what a great family you have all around you--who needs friends?! :) j/k
This is so sad, and funny - the things he said. He is so cute! Remember that time we were out in the garage by the pool house and you were walking on the railing, and you slipped and hit the railing right between your legs? While reading this, that memory came to me. That was sad, but kind of funny now...
