You'll never believe it, but...


Debbie went back to hospital today!

Of course it was to sit in the back and hold the blood soaked rag on Calvin's finger!!!
Stuart stayed home from school today because I am still feeling rather unsure of myself (light headed, nauseas, stiff and sore) and I keep finding new injuries like a big bruise on my knee and my neck is now really stiff.... anyway, back to Calvin. I was sleeping in and Stuart was with Calvin and Calvin decided that he really needed to cut his apple with a REALLY sharp knife. Sadly he cut himself and I came out to the kitchen to find Stuart standing over Calvin holding his bloody hand with big spots of blood on the floor. I quickly dressed and we raced Calvin up to the hospital where they cleaned up the finger before sending us to the Dr's surgery for stiches! Calvin was very brave at the hospital, though the whole thing made me quite light headed. We also got the see the cut for the first time and it is a whopper! Right down the middle of his finger (on his left hand). When the Dr saw Calvin she suggested no stiches because it is quite stressful and so his wound is just stuck up and well bandaged (as you can see). On top of that Calvin still has a running bottom, poor little guy.

Ahhhhh. Would be nice not to go to the hospital tomorrow! Though Calvin and I will both go to the Dr on Thursday for check ups.
Hope that YOU are all well and safe out there. I think we ave done enough for the whole family. And now it is back to bed with me.
