Colin and I and our hospital visits...yes visits!

Well, it started a week ago today... got a call at work that Colin had taken a header off the playground equipment, landed on his chin and bit all the way through his tongue and lip. We sat in the waiting room for 3 HOURS before they finally saw him. He got put on penicillan and is healing up nicely. I would post some pictures but I'm afraid the weak stomaches here wouldn't like that very much. 
Monday night I stood up to go put Colin to bed and my nose just started gushing blood - attractive, I know - so an hour later it hadn't let up so off we went to the ER where we sat in the waiting room with my nose bleeding for another 1 and 45 minutes. The doctor tried to get it to stop once I was in the ER to no avail. He ended up having to "pack" my nose. I now can say I have felt a cluster in reverse! It felt like that sadistic SOB that calls himself a DR was poking my damn brain! It hurt like H-E-double hockey sticks!
So that is a rundown of our oh so exciting week!
Love-
Karen, Chris and Colin

OOhhhh Karen - I can sympathize with the latter at least!! Last April, I went to the ER with a massive hemorrhage that required surgery the next day, but before they did surgery, they packed it. Between the packing and the suctioning, it was an experience I'll never forget!!
Sorry to hear about Colin's accident!! Hope you're both recovering well by now!!!
Hugz,
Carrie

Oh, my.
Am I going to have to get you two matching bubble wrap suits? I'm glad things turned out allright.
Did they figure out why you were bleeding so much?
hugs and love, nani

My daughter used to have severe nose bleeds suddenly.......I remember holding her over the toilet and blood POURING out and then huge clots would be stuck tryin to ooze out the size of a sock ! Man talk about gross !! The doctor catorized some veins in her nose too close to the surface that kept ruptureing and she never had problems again. I was shocked it worked and was that easy cuz of how severe it was. Can't beleive a kid could loose that much blood either and still function. Bitein thru the tongue is pretty bad too.......and how bad it swells later. One reason tongue pierceing never interested me. Seein red Pam 
HOPE everyones doin ok by now !

Amazing Colin's tongue is almost closed already... just barely open. My nose is a ruptured blood vessel way back in my nose which they couldn't close due to the amount of blood which was why they packed it. I have the packing out already... couldn't stand it any longer and pulled it out myself. I shake and quiver just thinking about it. YUCK!  Going next Wednesday for a cauterization and to talk to the dr about having septoplasty... I have a deviated septum from breaking my nose in 3rd grade. I figure if I can handle clusters I can take another nose break and straightening. aughhhhh! yuck!
Much love-
Karen

Now Karen, we do like hearing from you but could we have a little more mundane news once in a while?! LOL Can't you just be boringfor a few months and not half kill yourself for our "amusement"?!
You'll make me seem poised and precise if you keep this up! I'm glad colin is healing well, kids bounce don't they? It's a talent I wish I could re-acquire! It's always lovely to see you post though, you and I need a good catch up. Lots to tell
love to you and yours

Oh boy, what a week Karen! I have had my nose cauterized 13 times. Its no big deal. It kind of smells like burning bananas. That was when I was a kid, they stopped when I was 16 thank goodness. I hate that packing too, its so nasty. Glad your son is doing better poor little guy.  Hope next week is better for ya.

Ouch Karen. 
Very glad things are healing well.
Hope the next time you post it will be for something a bit more mundane, as Helen says.
