As you can tell, I'm playing catch up on my blogging. Cammy had 2 more injuries last week to add to the bloody nose. I sent him downstairs to get some chicken out of the basement freezer. He's down there awhile which is nothing new. Finally, I hear him yell, but couldn't understand him. Then he yelled again that he was bleeding so I asked him to come upstairs. His tongue was bleeding a little bit. And in true Cameron fashion....he did it sticking his tongue on the metal shelf of the freezer and getting stuck!!!!
The next day he wakes me up to tell me he is bleeding and can't get it to stop. I look at his hand and it's bleeding pretty bad. I ask how it happened. He was sharpening a knife to cut carrots. 1. It was a small$1 paring knife that you don't sharpen. 2. We didn't have any carrots! So we go in the bathroom an try to clean it up an put some bandaids on. A little later it has bled through so I put some folded p gauze on it. A little later it's bled through. It stopped bleeding but was about 1/4" deep. I figured he didn't need stitches since it wasn't bleeding so I head to the pharmacy for some skin glue. The pharmacist walks us over to it, but is watching Cameron as he keeps bending his hand back opening it more. He suggested not using skin glue on him. So, off to the house where I put in my first aid knowledge (taught to me by Cameron's many trips to the er an dr.) I had to put 2 steri strips on to hold it together. After the neosporin and that I wrapped his hand completely so he couldn't mess with it. He thought it was cool to have a "glove."
I am so tired of blood. I think I'm finally getting desensitized to blood and Cameron's accidents. I used to kind of panic or at least just get nervous inside. Now it is kind of a "now what?" feeling. Lord please keep him safe!
