Back from another trip to the ER....

Early this afternoon Caleb jumped off the couch and got a nose bleed. Tyler wanted to act out what Caleb did and jumped hard onto the ground, causing his teeth to go through his tongue. Two crying boys and an incredible amount of blood. I packed Tyler up and off we went to the local ER - AGAIN.

The same nurse that assessed and helped with Caleb a few days ago, took care of Tyler. First we had to explain how the other scrapes and bruises happened to his face and then sat in the ER for 4 long hours. (Sitting there for that long gives you different ideas on how to revamp that ER and get the line of patients flying through there - sitting there with children is a trying experience!) 

Finally we were able to see a doctor and again went over the bumps and scrapes on Tyler's face. After that was settled he examined Tyler. Apparently the tongue can bleed for 4 hours straight. Thankfully  the cut was high enough that he didn't need stitches - something that we wanted to avoid. Tyler handled the experience like a pro and I hope to avoid the ER for a long, long time.
