Yes, what an exciting night we had. Last week Nolan was having extreme belly pain and Dr,. Staben sent us to the children's ER at Sacred Heart for ultasounds and Xrays, turned out he was just really constipated. The ER doc said he sees about 10-12 children daily for this! Crazy. 
He's doing much better now but, last night we went back for a new reason.
After dinner, Matt, Nolan and I were all on our bed reading books. We would read one, Nolan would stick it on the finished pile on my night stand and then run off to his room to pick a new one. Well, he rolled off and split his head open on the night stand! Why in the world did we pick night stands with such sharp courners!?!?!? 
Anyway, there was blood everywhere, we called 911 and the firefighters came and patched Nolan's head all up. And then sent us on to the Emergency room for stiches.
I had blood all over me.
Nolan ended up having about a 3 inch cut right in his eyebrow.
And got 8 stiches :0(
The doctors and nurses were so great! They had one nurse with us who's job was just to keep Nolan smiling. She was wonderful, singing songs with him, sharing fun flashy toys and cool animal noises. She even gave him a popcicle right after stiches, which he LOVED, and a cool truck toy.
Nolan says he's "bedder" and he'll get his stiches out in about aweek.
No more trips to the ER for a while, please.
