Daryl says, "LIVE BY THE DOOR. DIE BY THE DOOR!!"

So today Chance was getting into a feet push car in Nursery and lost his footing and fell backwards into the door of the nursery. I went over to check on him and discovered blood, a lot of blood. He hit his head on one of the hinges. I ran to get Daryl. The nursery leader, Rachel, went and got a Sister who is a nurse, and along the way a few more spectators showed up. She said he probably needed stitches so we were off. Thanks Rachel for taking care of Synjin and Sebastian for a couple of hours!!
The emergency room went pretty quick- we were put on the "FAST TRACK" with his head injury and all!! So the doctor asked Chance to do some simple commands to make sure he didn't have a concussion. One of them was to squeeze his hands as hard as he could. When he squeezed the doctor's hands Chance let out a pretty loud and long fart. Daryl and I started busting up and the doctor asked what happened.(We don't know how he didn't hear it) We told him and he remarked to Chance that he asked him to "squeeze" his fingers not "pull" them.:o)
After a couple of stitches we are home and Chance is back to his normal self. Well actually he was acting normal the whole time. In fact, the doctor had asked me if his behavior was normal and that was just as Chance was rolling around on the bed, walking back and forth,and being so loud!! I looked at him and said yes doctor,this is his "normal!!" :o)
It was a fun day in Nursery! Maybe now they will take my advice and make Nursery a padded room...

Boys...boys...boys! Not only do they get the most injuries, but they grab any chance (no pun intended) to pull someone's finger!
Too funny....Love you all and glad he's alright! :-)

Sorry to hear about Chance. That story about the doctor and the finger squeeze was great. Glad he is doing ok.
