AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Sorry just had to get that out there. Am just trying to unwind after spending almost 6 hours at the casualty department at TCH *oh yay me*.

Quinn cut his head open, top left temple, and we thought this the best place to take him. Last time he did similar the local dr's wouldn't see him.

Anyway I guess we must of picked a busy day or something. It was packed. We are so lucky that Dave was able to drop goo off with mum otherwise she would of been going nuts. I sure as hell was and Quinn was well and truly past it by the time we finally got seen by the DR, 5 and a half hours later.

After waiting for 2 hours we did try the medical center at tuggers but they where totally full and we also gave CALMS a go but the best they could do was 7.45 so we thought we may as well stay put!

Luckily the Dr ended up going with the good old glue rather than the stitches, as was first advised by the nurse. Mr Quinn is now sporting a very funky large bandaid and a sore head.

Am now off to wrap both my children heavily in cotton wool Tounge1.gif

OMG!!

Poor Quinn, I can't imagine how crap it must have been trying to keep him happy for that amount of time especially with him in pain. You deserve a medal, Bella would have lasted about 30 mins tops.

Here's to a quick and bumpless healing period and big hugs to the brave boy from us all.

Cheers,

Nicola
