First ER visit

Well, after almost four years (it will be his birthday this Friday) Gabriel finally got to have a trip to the emergency room. He fell and cut his eye on an end table. Not his eye, really, but really close. It was a little scary, what with all the blood. Luckily Jessica had just gotten home, so the trained medical person of the family was there to take care of things. We called her dad to come get the other kids, so that they wouldn't need to sit around the hospital with us, and then ran off to Children's hospital downtown. Let me say, this was probably the fastest visit to an ER ever. We were in and out in less than an hour. No other patients were waiting, so we were taken right back, checked out by a nurse first, then the person that would fix Gabe, and finally two doctors. Instead of stitches, Gabe's face was glued shut. The stuff they use is like Super Glue, but without acitone, so less burning. I was so proud of my little guy. He was very brave the whole time. Funny too. He kept telling everyone that he hurt his eye on the table and that he was going to beat up the table. Then he started telling everyone that he was going to have a Star Wars birthday. I'm really glad that his eye wasn't damaged. As you can see, it was really close.
