Another Set of Stiches to Add to the List!

Well, the holidays just wouldn't be complete without a run to the ER. That is where Mason and I found our selves the week before Christmas. The kids were playing tag and of course, Mason trying to move his little legs faster that humanly possible at the age of two, tripped and ended up meeting the corner of his bed with is forhead. The kids came running down and by that time Mason was covered in blood. Brandon,(being out of town for work)walked in the door 5 minutes before the event happen, was talking to a friend of ours that happen to stop by to drop a gift off. Kelly, is just finishing his last year of his pedeatric fellowship at Riley Childrens Hospital. He of course was right, Mason, after kicking, screaming and me pretty much laying on him, had two very nicely placed stiches. Now, I know what your thinking poor little Mason and yes, that is what I was thinking too. The story then gets better. 3 days later Jaxson and Mason hit heads and of course, "popped" the stiches and the cut open and we, again were headed off to the ER. This time, because the cut had already started to heal the doctor was unable to restich it and instead taped it together with sterrie(sp?) strips. What would have been a small unnoticed scar, will now be very visible and bigger than before. We have now added it to the list, 2 sets of stiches, two broken noses, two broken fingers, one dislocated finger,and a partriage in a pear tree!! Merry Christmas!

Oh my goodness! I swear, your kids are a handful. Brian and I both laughed when we saw your title. It just never ends with the Cleverly kids and the ER.

Sounds just like a norma adventure for the Clev house I grew up in. I mean shave Chads head and you would have a road map of scars
