First Trip to A&E

I suppose it had to happen sooner or later. Sunday afternoon we went to see cousin Noah and unfortunately while me and daddy were in the front room with my brother, Jamie fell off something. Nanna had been watching him but didn't really know what happened either. All we could see was that Jamie's lip was bleeding heavily from where his teeth (we assume) had cut into his lip. I am afraid mummy was a bit of a wet fish as she didn't like all that blood, but Auntie Hannah helped mop up the blood!!

Daddy decided straight away to take him up to the hospital as he thought the cut was quite deep. Once at A&E we were seen quite quickly. The nurse gave Jamie some Neurophen and said that they don't stitch cuts but suggested we waited to see a Doctor. Unfortunately this, she estimated, would be between one and two hours..... As it was past Jamie's bed time and he seemed quite happy in himself, we decided to take him home. We did have him in bed with us all night but after his milk he just wanted to have a cuddle and go to sleep - as we all did!

Monday morning, daddy took him to the Doctors just to be sure. They rang A&E who also told them that they don't stitch children of Jamie's age. They said just to keep an eye on its progress and to take him back if it looks as if it isn't healing. Today he just looks like a boxer but he does say its "Better!".

As he was such a brave boy, daddy treated Jamie to a Peppa Pig Kitchen Set and he loves it!!
