Bridger's Accident

Well.. Bridger had a really tough week. As you can see Monday didn't start out to great with poking himself with a fork and falling down the stairs. Well Tuesday he was playing in the drawer in the bathroom and slipped and hit above the opposite eye where the fork got him on the corner of the drawer. It was red for a little bit and then went away. Then here's the climax.  

Dun Dun Dun!!

Wednesday night the wind was supposed to be really bad and the weather wasn't supposed to be very good so Phil decided not to go to his Math class that night which I was very grateful for once this happened.. I was trying to clean up the kitchen and like usual Bridger loves to hold onto the stools at the island. He was doing pretty good just standing there, but he kept biting the cushion part on the stool since this one was more his height. I was trying to get him to stop because lets face it that's gross!! He wouldn't stop and I turned around to get a Tupperware out for leftovers and when I turned back around I saw him falling backwards. UH OH!! So I hurried over to try to catch him, but I was too late. He's done this before but with a taller stool so not much damage was done. I didn't think too much of it but I knew it must have hurt so I was trying to comfort him when a ton of blood came rushing out of his mouth!! I freaked out of course and ran up stairs to get help from Phil. We were trying to see what had happened, but he was bleeding so bad that it just kept flowing out of his mouth and we couldn't tell where it was coming from or what had happened. I was leaning him over the sink so he wouldn't swallow the blood, but he still swallowed some and ended up throwing it up. I felt so bad! I finally got the nose sucked and started to just suck all of it out of his mouth. Finally it stopped bleeding super bad, so I was just trying to comfort him again but he just had a really hard time calming down and staying calm. We tried to put ice on him, a Popsicle, just anything to help stop the bleeding and swelling. After about an hour and a half it had pretty much stopped and I was able to nurse him and he went to bed. The next morning I looked and his gum line above his teeth and his upper lip were just blue. I didn't know that you could get a bruise inside your mouth! He seemed ok though and was chewing on stuff that morning. He's been doing fine with it now and his lip isn't swollen anymore thank goodness! But that was a night I Never want to live again!

Well that's not the end of what happened that week but it was certainly the worst of it! Thursday morning he was playing on the bookshelf just taking books off and he slipped on a book and hit under his eye on the shelf. It looked blue for a little bit and I thought he was going to have a black eye, but you'd have no idea that he's gone through so much this week by looking at him.

Then Friday night while I was putting laundry away in the bedroom.. I'm not sure who had Bridger , but someone was watching him when I went down there.. I heard Phip's mom start yelling AH AH AH NO AH NO!! Apparently he was upstairs with her and almost went down the stairs head first!! Luckily she caught him before he went down. It scared him a bit, but it he was ok!! So this is how Bridger's week went.
