It has been two weeks since Zion (3) injured his forehead and nose. I know I didn’t write about it on the blog and I have hardly spoken about it. I have to say that I am so thankful to God that things were not more serious than they were.
The short story is -
My husband was moving my Nana’s hurricane lamp when the heavy glass shade fell off and hit Zion on the head. It hit his forehead first, shattered and then nearly sliced his nose off. Two trips to the ER that night and the glue was finally holding.
We had three days of doing everything we could to keep Zion sitting still and doing nothing so the glue would not come undone again. It worked!
It has been almost 2 weeks and we have not been getting much sleep around here. The twins are both in our bed and working through some night terrors (I think due to the lamp incident). Let me just tell you, these kids (the twins) can sure hog the bed.
Zion’s glue and scab should be just about ready to fall off (the doctor said about 10 days and we are pushing 14) and I am curious to see what it looks like underneath.
One Room Schoolhouse
We have been trying to get back into the swing of home school, but the babes have been very cranky lately (maybe because they are not sleeping well?).

Hi Cindy,
Thanks for taking a few moments to leave a comment.
It was pretty scary. My husband and I wrote out a post with the whole story, but I couldn’t bring myself to post it. I have been thinking about how much I absolutely love Zion and how thankful I am that I still have him to hold. It could have been much worse.
I am so glad you are enjoying my book. Finding time to blog is definitely one of my hardest problems. I just wish I had more hours in my day.
Blessings

Poor Zion! You know, my daughter was chasing the cat when she was little and tripped and fell, hitting her head on the corner of the computer desk. They glued her forehead instead of stitches and I never thought that glue would fall off ! After 3 1/2 weeks, my husband finally pulled it off. That’s our experience with glue.
I am LOVING your blogging book as well. It is full of such great ideas!

Hi Tonya,
As a parent it is so scary when your children are injured. The glue is starting to lift around the edges, so I know it won’t be long. I am more than content to wait for it to fall off on its own.
I am so glad you are loving my blogging book. I had so much fun writing it.
Thank you for taking a few moments to stop by.
Blessings

Wow, Honey – that’s really scary! Glad they were able to stop the bleeding.
I bought your e-book the day it came out, having been a fan of your blog for a few years, and I just wanted to say (in case anyone else was wondering) that your e-book did not disappoint! Lots of great ideas and information in there. Thanks!

Hi Eddie,
It was really scary. I had very vivid dreams that first night of seeing his face covered in blood. I am so thankful that he is okay. The scab is starting to peel off in chunks now (in a good way).
Thank you so much for the kind words about my book. I am so happy you are able to get some good ideas and information from it. I wish you many awesome blog posts. (and thank you for purchasing).
Blessings

Hi Faye,
So glad you stopped by for a visit. Thank you for the kind words about the new look. Zion is healing well (thanks to many prayers and a double dose of glue).
