Our first big boo-boo

Today was eventful! Our oldest boy had his first trip to the ER.
We were sitting in church, waiting for the service to start...I had both boys since my hubby was doing something in another place in the church. I had set him on his behind, and he was sitting nicely, so I tried to give our other son his binkie because he was starting to fuss. Now, as most accident stories start...I turned for just a second, and he shifted toward the pew in front of us. Instead of catching himself with his hands, he caught himself with his forehead. Since skin doesn't usually stand up too well against corners, he has a cut...and being a normal head wound IT BLED!
I was trained in minor first aid when I was a CNA, so when I saw the blood...I did what I knew. I still had our tiny baby in one ARM and him bleeding in the other, and I was asking if someone would take the little one and if I could get something for the bleeding.
The mom in me wanted to panic, but he was already screaming, understandably, so I had to tell myself "remember all head wounds bleed a lot, this is ok". I put tissues on it and held it while someone went to find my hubby, so he could get the car and we could go see if he needed stitches.
My husband wasn't a graceful child...his words :-)...and he was very familiar with ER doctors, but this rattled him because he is ours. I had to reminded him on the way to the hospital that a cop would not understand him going 20 over the speed limit....but to the hospital we made it.
We must have one of the calmest kids ever, because he was acting normally by the time we got there, and even when they were examining him he only tried to get away when they wanted to touch the cut. He never hit or kicked...we are so proud of him! They ended up gluing him back together, instead of stitches...and he still wanted daddy over me after daddy had to hold him down for the nurse to fix him up (rubbing alcohol, surgical glue, and iodine and he still behaved).
Of course he got ice cream later just to make the experience look better later...as I've said before, scary doctor visits should come "a la mode"!
