just a quick one before i catch up ... spent the afternoon at the hosp with jack ... boys had been awefully quiet then jack started howling ... got up to find alex with the tin of dog food (yes i must admit he had eaten some) then i saw blood dripping on the floor under jack ... took him to the sink to wash his finger & saw that he had gashed it so wrapped it in papertowel & threw together a nappy bag & went to the hosp arriving at 3pm ... the triage nurse saw us, & cleaned it to which Jack just sat there & didn't budge, & put some thin bandages around it & said that there is going to be a long wait for stitches as there has been a car accident & that if i wanted to leave it there was a slight chance it would heal with them bandages on ... so i decided we'd go get something to eat & come back ... so went to iga & got some bottled water & snacks, went to big w & got some colouring in books, crayons & bob toys, then to kfc & back to the hosp where we w8d till after 7 ... in the meantime we saw the air ambulance (helicopter) take off to which the boys, esp alex, loved watching ... the dr saw us & put glue on it then a waterproof cover on it ... Jack was so brave ... i have a good stomach for blood & guts but i couldn't look at his finger, it was so fleshy!, prob cos it was my child too ... we left the hosp at 7.30 ... exhausted!!

catch up on personals in the next few days xox
