My little Bull

These are with the bandage on.
Well I guess I've just reached the "every Mothers fears" ...what every mother wises they never have to see or hear. For it has befallen me..

I was out for a night off with a friend and get a call on my friends phone from my brother John about half an hour from leaving, saying " Anj, don't panic or anything but Kaden had a bad accident he broke a mirror and glass is everywhere but we don't know how bad he hit him self he's just bleeding alot." Me- " how bad is bad" Him- I'm not sure but there is blood everywhere and mom your other son and your two other sisters are crying..Me-" Well then it must be bad, do I need to come home?" Him- " No I don't want u freaking out to so you stay there and I'll call you when I know how bad it is.." Me" ok! Well let me know right away, maybe I'd better just come home anyway" Him- " No, just wait and I'll call you back."... 5 min's later I get a call back.. Him- "OK! Dad is going to the hospital but its not to bad. Me-" OK! I'm coming home tell Dad I'll be right there." Him- " He's already gone." Me- " What? How bad is it? Is he going to need stitches?" Him- " It seems so." Me- " Ok tell Dad I'm on my way home.. No I'll just go straight there and meet him there. Him- "OK! " So we get driving along and then I get a call from Dad... OK were at the Hospital. Kaden is going to need stitches and I'm going to need u here as soon as possible. Me- Ya dad were already on our way. Dad- " You need to bring you insurance papers and ID so I guess your going to have to go home but try to press in here cause they need u here." Me-"Ok dad! I'm coming." get home to a little ruckus ,have to comfort some worried family and tell them he will be ok.. and let them know its ok that he could have had the accident at any time with anyone of us. and that its not bad. Dash back to the car and head to the hospital..
Me (walking into the emergency waiting room) I see a child with a big white rap around his head. I think to myself... " I thought it wasn't that bad? that's not my child? he looks fatter? (walking closer to them) that is Kaden.. Oh my Lord he's covered in blood.. (All smiles)Ummm Dad How bad is it really? Dad and his usual calm self says.. Oh not that bad but he will need a few stitches.. then to my shock, Kaden pulls the wrap and gauze from his head and out pops this big bulge of flesh.. My reaction... 'OH MY GOD!!! IT'S BAD!!! IT'S REALLY BAD?" (In all this I have to say I was totally calm PTL, and thanks to a little glass of Margarita. :P) But just seeing it the way it was was enough for anyone to gasp out in shock/ horror.
They basicallythen zipped us through the waiting room to the the exam rooms and he was looked at right away.. Have to say it was pretty funny watching all the different folks come walking by from firemen , paramedics , doctors and those working at the hospital it self,with the look of shock, OOO's and Ahhhh... Ouches. that must have hurt.. what happened? and all that. I think I was able to put together a whole list full of " Get better soon,sympathy and the works cards" for him. I mean you would think those working and seeing that kind of stuff everyday would not be affected but everyone of them had something to say.. All where really sweet and said something nice to the form of "he's such a trooper... You mom! must be feeling it real bad... Sorry you have to experience it... and such" so it was really nice.

Then came the part for the stitches, Doctor comes in and I ask so what's going to happen here he's getting stitches, are you going to put him under? Nurse says.. Well he's two young so will just be nubbing the area of the wound and where going to have to strap him in this from neck to feet. ( Holding up to me a sheet) then he says you can either be here and he'll cry or to make it easier you can leave, though he will still cry cause of the pain... Right then and there I knew I had to wait out of the hall quarters for him to do the job. Cause knowing how I am when I'm hurt and my parents around only made me want to cry the more and fight the harder.. Plus I was getting close to the verge of crying knowing of the pain he might go through and didn't want to show my weakness to all those around.. So I voted to step out side.. I was able to watch the whole thing with out letting him see me either. And only when he got to crying more then I could handle did I move away a bit further. Praise the Lord.

He got 20 stitches in all in the shape of a Football but he was a real trooper. Once it was done. I gave him a shiner prize snack and changed his blood filled clothes. And he was good as new again.. Oh! and we learned with Kaden from one time past in a hospital that if you blow up a glove and make a balloon out of it he really likes it to play with... and loves to draw on it. So that helped to bid the time waiting.

So all was done.. Were leaving, thanking the nurse and Doctor for doing such a good job.. And Kaden pulls out his little charms and starts waving merrily and blowing kisses.. To the point that all who had been involved with him where all ... "Ahhhh! He blew me a kiss.. Oh so cute.. It got to the point to that the female nurse that helped us with the paper work and tested kaden's vitals and then the male nurse that had to hold kaden during the stitches where fighting over who got the wave.. it played out like so... "male nurse.. oh he waved at me... female nurse.. well he waved at me too... male nurse.. well I had to do the dirty work... female nurse.. well isn't the the best patient I've ever had and most grateful , he just blew me a kiss as well. male nurse.. well he still waved by e to me.. male nurse.. Oh look.. see your not the only special one he just blew me a kiss to.. :D I guess the lord was just using Kaden though he had just had a bad accident to show a little of the lords love to those around him.. And it sure worked cause all the way till passing the hospital he was still blowing kisses and waving. And all the nurses he passed up where not missed with out having had at least one of the two if not both. So my little Bull walked out of there with his head held high smile on his face though his head was bloody.. :) He was unbowed. The END
