Kaleb the strong boy after the ER 
Got hurt square in the middle of his head
Had to add a picture of Rayleigh for those who haven't seen her. Shes almost 6 months now.That is Kaleb's name for himself, the strong boy, and he was, unfortunately, able to show us how strong he was this past Wednesday night. He was taking a bath and got out to go potty and then when getting back in the tub slipped and hit his head on the back of the tub. Of course, a lot of screaming and crying ensued. When I ran into the room he told me he hurt his head and when I looked all I saw was blood running down his back. It was definitely a scary sight. Once I was there though and looking at his owie he stopped crying completely. Now his head is continuing to bleed, Dusty and I are trying to gage the size of the wound, messing around with his head and he is just standing there like nothing has happened. We couldn't tell anything of course so we put some gauze on the wound and wrapped up his head and headed for the ER. He is still acting just fine, like nothing happened, but enjoying having his head wrapped up. When we saw the doctor he said he needed 2 staples. I wanted to prepare him for what was going to happen and was telling him the doctor was going to close the whole in his head (couldn't think of another way to say it at the time) and he started to tear up and said "I don't want a whole in my head." I explained it was too late for that and that the doctor is going to fix it. He was then fine. When the DR. came in Kaleb had to lay face down on the bed and asked to be still. He did just that, didn't move an inch, even when they stapled his head! He didn't even start to cry until it was all over and then it didn't last long. He truly is a strong, brave little boy. His is doing fine now and only needed pain reliever once since that night. Now I am spending my days trying to keep him from hurting his head again or ripping out the staples, he just does not know how to be calm. He has to go and get the staples removed on Weds. and I think I am going to have Dusty take him for that, I have a feeling that may be painful.
