First trip to the Emergency Room :(

About 1 1/2 weeks ago we had to make our first trip to the emergency room. I was about to get Grady out of the bath when he slipped and busted his eyebrow wide open. He only cried for about 5 minutes until he saw his own blood on my shoulder and thought that I had a boo-boo. At that point he was more concerned about me than himself. We jumped in the car to head over to the only hospital on the island. It is nothing like what we have in America. It is an older building with no air, so all the windows are open and it isn't anywhere near as clean as our hospitals. So, I'm feeling pretty bad at this point that I am the cause for us being there. Everything went surprisingly smooth though. We met a liaison and she took care of everything. We were in and out in about 45 minutes. Grady was such a big boy! We laid him down on the table for the doctor and nurses to clean it up and he just put his hands behind his head and crossed his feet. They were opening it up and cleaning it out and he never flinched. Thank goodness they don't use stitches that much anymore, so he had to get it glued back together. When they got through he set up and said 'thank you'...so sweet! Here is a picture of my baby's perfect little face the day before and then some after pictures. Right when we got home from the hospital. Judo chop!
