Caden's first ER visit

Saturday afternoon we decided to go to the pool for a couple of hours. After we had been there for about 45 minutes, Caden slipped and landed on his face, on the cement. We got everyone out of the pool and ready to go home because he was bleeding pretty badly. We came home and tried to figure out exactly where he was bleeding from (both his nose and mouth were bleeding), but he refused to let us look. He soon fell asleep, so Erick and I got a flashlight and took a peek. I won't go into details for those of you with a weak stomach, but it was bad. We knew that it was unlikely that they would stitch inside his mouth, but decided to take him to the ER anyway because of the severity of the cut and the amount of bleeding that he was still having an hour later. They did not stitch his mouth, but I'm glad that we had it looked at. Caden was great the whole time we were there and even let the doctor look at his mouth without putting up too much of a fight. The inside of his mouth still looks pretty bad, but Caden is back to his normal, sweet, little self today.


Don't mind the binky ring of blood around his mouth, I tried to clean him up before I took any pictures.
