Seeing your baby's blood just isn't right.
Yesterday he was standing on the toilet and reached to play with the faucet. His socks slipped out from underneath him and he face planted on the counter then fell between the toilet and the vanity and bonked his head down there also.
I handled it better than I may have expected in the past, luckily I have always been overly calm when emergency things happen, I get upset later. We had to figure out if it was a stich trip worthy or not.
Of course I called my mom, but she didn't answer so I called my oldest sister Shannon, she knows everything.
She reminded me to look at depth more than width.
The blood stopped pretty quick and after a minute it wasn't gaping open, we also were glad it didn't go through, so we didn't throw a flashing light on top of the car nor sped to an emergency room.
Of course he cried, but I was so impressed with how well he handled it, even though he hurt and was crying. He tilted his head back and said ahhh every time we wanted to peek at his lip. I love that he trusts us and knows we would never do anything that wasn't in his best interest. Maybe it seems like a silly line of thought, but I am glad he knows.
So we survived our first bleeding injury, he totally bit off the little extra flap of skin and he has a swollen lip... but I think we are going to be ok.

Poor little Greydon; glad you didn't have to make a trip to the doctor! Our boys both had ER visits prior to both of them being 2. Each year we pray that we'll only go to the ER once; our max has been 6 in one year. ;)
Don't know why we didn't hear phone; could have been the three screamers at this end. Shannon was all teary that you called her to get advice; how fun!
Glad he's o.k. and such a trooper!Love, Muzz
