Missing ear parts and other adventures....

Just have to tell you about yesterday. Ever have one of those days that just seems unreal it's so bad?? That was yesterday for me. Starts out with me babysitting for Laramie, when the school calls and says, "There's been an accident here at school and Dallen is really hurt. We think he needs Stitches." So, I call my brother in-law who just called me to inform me that he was home so I could send Ladriel back, and I told him what she said and ask if it would be alright if Saige, Alora, and Aiden come to his house and play for a bit. He says sure, so I grab the kids and smell Aiden is poopy, so I scoop up a diaper and wipes on my way out so I can change him at Josh's house. Well, his diaper fell off inside his jammies and he was COVERED in poo. It was every where. Josh offers to run him a bath as I finish up wiping him as good as I can. So then I have to run back to my house and get him something to wear (meanwhile, I'm really, really worried about Dallen and all this is done at warp speed.)

I finally get to the school and Dallen's ear is bad. It looks like there is a whole chunk of it missing. He's crying and they've got him wrapped up in a blanket and they are trying to stop the bleeding. I call Brigham, and have him taken out of his meeting and luckily he comes to the clinic to meet me because Dallen really needs a blessing at this point. He's scared to death about getting stitches. I promise him that he won't have to get them until his daddy gets there to give him a blessing. Girls, I do not handle my kids getting hurt well. I really tried to remain calm, but I was still frantic. Where's Donna when I need her?

Dallen and I prayed that he wouldn't feel any pain with the stitches and that it wouldn't be too scary, and Heavenly Father answered that prayer. He didn't feel any pain, it was a miracle as I was watching and OUCH that really should have hurt a bunch!!! Right after the stitches, we took Dallen to Cold Stone Creamery and he got the largest size ice cream with two toppings mixed in. Now he just needs to keep it dry and be careful with it. It's bandaged and I'm literally scared to see it again, it was all so traumitizing. I'm such a wimp. Brig and Sarah meanwhile are both at school sick and throwing up in the nurses station, but we were too busy with Dallen to pick them up. They took turns throwing up the rest of the night, What a crazy day.
