Deja Vu









What are the chances that you'll get to be your dad and mom's patient at the same time in a make-shift OR in your own house?
Pretty well if your dad's a plastic surgeon, your mom's an anesthesiologist and you're a little wild man.
The crazy thing about it all is that this wasn't unfamiliar territory for Keith and me - last year we had to do the same thing for Bella!
Today, it was Luca's turn. As he was fleeing his dad to escape nap-time, Luca tripped and fell in our bathroom - right into one of the tile steps leading to the bath. Luca suffered a deep gash in his forehead, and Keith instantly knew that we would once again be sewing one of our kids up at home.
Luca was a trooper, and with a little help from Mommy's medicine, he did just fine. Keith was just finishing up the 10 stitches in the video above.
Needless to say, we are grateful that we are able to spare our toddlers the trauma of going to the ER, but hopefully, we won't be needing to do too much more of this!!

I'm sad I missed this one. We hardly see you any more and we're right next door.

Oh, my... how does Keith DO that???? I would pass out! Mo bit his tounge and bled... what did I do - cried, called Jeff, made him come home, ran him to the doctor immediately... he was fine by the time Jeff came home, but seeing that blood. You 2 are so brave... oh, and Luca was pretty brave, too! lol! Poor Luca!

This must be why you guys keep that changing table around...impromptu surgery.
