One of My Worst Fears Realized

I am extremely queasy when it comes to my boys getting hurt. My immediate response almost every time without fail is to turn my back to them and say, "I can't look! CHRIS WHERE ARE YOU?" Chris has always asked me what I would do if something happened to one of the boys when he is out of town and I have always just prayed that I would never have to find out. Well Friday morning I found out. Garrett had been at a sleep over at his cousin, Caden's house and while playing basketball he managed to hit his head on a table and cut his left eye open. Thankfully I am blessed to have family so close by! Tonya came over and took care Chase and Ethan, while Tammy and I took Garrett to urgent care where we were met by my Mom. Garrett was so nervous and scared; not to mention totally mad at me for making him go. Once again Dr. Jess was working and came to the rescue. He took excellent care of Garrett and was able to glue his eye instead of stitches. When he told Garrett this great news you could visibly see him begin to calm down. His eye is healing up and I learned that I can do it --- when I have to!
