Not the day I had planned

It is funny how things can change in a second.  I thought today would be just a normal Sunday.  It started out that way.  We had a party for our five year olds that will be promoting to kindergarten.  I was a little emotional thinking that Paige will no longer be with me in the beginner department.  I will miss all of our big kids!

After church it was lunch with the family as usual and then Brayden asked if Caden could come over and play.  While he was at Tami's house Paige and I went grocery shopping at Wal-mart.   That is when Tami called me and said Dallas had nipped Caden on the lip.  Dallas is Danielle and Zack's Great Dane.  He is 7 months old and over 100lbs.  A sweet, but big dog.

At first I did not think anything of it.  Tami said Caden had a paper towel on it and she would get a better look at it and then call me back.  She did and this time I could hear the concern in her voice.  She said she was pretty sure his tooth went all the way thru Caden's lip.  She was on her way to our house.  Of course I was not there but luckily Jimmy was.  He took one look and knew Caden would need stitches.  

Caden was not upset when I got to the hospital.  He was more worried that he would not be able to go back to Brayden's house and finish playing.  The doctor said he would need 3 or 4 stitches.  Yikes!  They gave him some medicine to make him loopy and boy did it.  He was crazy!  Laughing and talking out of his head.  He was happy until it came time to get the stitches.  He did not want to be held down.  Of course we had to make sure he was still and he was so loopy that we had no choice.  Lets just say it was not fun.  Poor guy.  He was so out of it, I am not even sure he realized he was getting stitches.  He just kept yelling for us to let him go.  Thankfully the doctor was quick and then we were just left with the after math of the drugs!  Lol. The ride home was interesting.  Lots of singing and crazy talk.  At one point he heard me on the phone and said, "I got stitches?!"  We are finally home after several hours.  Poor Danielle and Zack feel terrible.  Tami feels bad too.  But, the dog was not being aggressive he was just playing and he is just big!  I am thankful that it was not worse and I am praying the scar won't be too bad.  So much for the perfect first day of school photo.  You just never know how fast your plans can be changed!
