Poor little Wyatt

I am serious, Wyatt has not had a great start. He was my first to be admitted into a hospital other than birth. He still has his little heart murmur. Now, the kid can not stay away from the fireplace. He busted his head on the fireplace a couple of weeks ago and now there is a little scar in his eyebrow. Last night he fell again, but this time it was his mouth that met with the brick. He really boogered up his upper gum and lip. There was so much blood, I didn't think that I was going to make it. The room started spinning and I felt clammy. After my episode passed we successfully stopped the bleeding, but his little lip was so swollen. Very heartbreaking!! He wouldn't drink or take his binky. Anytime he would rub his nose and lip, the bleeding would start up again. FINALLY, at about 2:30 am he fell into a sound sleep and stayed there until 7am. Daddy and I are pooped!! He woke this morning taking his binky and bottle, and then ate something. His well visit was today and the doc looked at it. She said it would heal quickly so not to worry. I felt so helpless, it is so hard to not be able to protect your babies from things that could hurt them. It was a long night and day today. He is sleeping soundly now and we are headed that way. 1 catastrophe down, many more to come!!

Thankfully I still haven't had to REALLY deal with that. The only time Lyric really busted her lip, Courtney got to her first so the bleeding had mainly got it stopped by the time I saw her.
I don't even want to deal with that as I will get sooo queazy...
I hope he feels better and gets some fear of the Lord regarding that fireplace!

I hate it when my kids get hurt! It's the worst part of being a mom. I mean you try so hard to protect them from EVERYTHING that will harm them knowing full well that they have to learn by experience sometimes. I'm so sorry Carrie. Being exhausted doesn't help things either. I am experiencing some extreme exhaustion myself. 2 out of 4 kids are sick, which means no sleep for me :( This too shall pass!
