Jackson and Mommy at hospital
Last night was our first trip to the ER for one of our children...not a "first" that we looked forward to and we are very glad that it's now behind us!
Yesterday was beautiful in Atlanta so we spent the afternoon outside with the kids. Jackson jumped on his trampoline and played with his friend Cole while the twins watched from their exersaucers. About 4pm, Jackson was running and somehow collided into the chair was sitting in...the chair won. Jackson ended up with a laceration on the side of his head in the shape of a Nike "swoosh". After much deliberation we finally decided to take him to the ER to get checked out (hoping to be sent home quickly because he didn't need stitches). No such luck. Jackson is now the proud (not really) owner of two staples. He was a trooper during the traumatic trip to the ER. It was a scary experience for him and not too fun for us, either! I think that if Jackson had asked for the moon afterward, Brandon would have done his best to give it to him. Thankfully, all he asked for was pancakes :) So after a pancake dinner and an ice cream sundae, we headed home to pick up the twins from our neighbors and get all the kids into bed. The twins went to bed as soon as we got home and slept until 8am. Jackson and I made a bed on the couch and snuggled all night (I had to take advantage of the situation...it's not too often that I get to snuggle my big boy!).
We go back on Friday to have the staples removed. That ought to be fun...prayers would be appreciated!!

Oh Poor Jackson!!! We are so sorry about his accident and feel your pain. Emergency Room visits are no fun, but boys will be boys! We'll be praying that his head heals up quickly and that the staples will be removed easily on Friday. Hope your week gets better!
