E.R. for Jac

My parents are visiting, which came in handy since we had to take Jac to the emergency room tonight. I usually keep Leah's tummy-time blanket in the den on the floor. Jac slipped on it, mostly intentionally because he thought it was funny. The third time he slipped, he landed on his face. I picked him up to keep him from crying and blood was coming out of his nose and mouth. His nose started swelling, so we left Leah with my freaked-out parents and headed for the E.R.

Luckily, the wait wasn't very long. He didn't have any broken bones (thankfully!), but the cartilage is bruised and there might be a cut on the inside which is causing the bleeding. He was given an antibiotic to prevent infection and some nose spray and we were discharged. The things kids do for fun...
