God's Army Academy
Sep. 5, 2007
Well today was our 2nd Day of drama class for our Homeschool Class. It is weekly on Tuesday....I am writing this Wednesday.
They wanted the class to be broken into sections....one for pretending to play the keyboard, one playing drums, and one singing. They were pretending to be a Rock 'n Roll Band.
So they had the "brothers 3" broken up into each section. So Jeckle....also known as bruiser cuz if there is an accident within a 20 mile radius....it is going to be him.
So back to Jeckle being a Rock 'n Roll singer (you know what they say about preacher's kids....)so he is doing his "singing" and was supposed to move to the left of the stage,......and then right......well he falls down....straight down on his nose....with glasses in place....and screams.....blood curdling...raise the roof.....screams. Well it barely bled, came to the edge of his nostril...and stopped....so I had no idea the extent of his damages.....and it seemed minimal. Later we were home around 3 p.m. class is from 12:30 - 2:00 so this happened somewhere around 1-ish. 5 o'clock his whole nose is purple....and he had managed to leave his glasses on all day.....and so it was swollen AROUND his glasses. I took his glasses off....managed to "pick" his nose with a Q-tip to get out the blood.....it was still freshly bleeding....I called the ask a nurse from our pediatrician line....they started....could it be broken...does it look straight....(I am sorry once swelling starts on something supposed to be "straight" it appears NOT straight any longer. So they started asking if I thought he might be hemorroging (spelling I know is not quite right) and that his nose might have on impact pushed into his brain.....and then do we think it is broken, etc....I did not know the answers to these questions...so she said I would take him in...and by the way the last Dr office closes at 8:00 and it is 7:00 p.m. and I live almost 45 minutes away from the next town....so I had to jump IN THE CAR immediately.....and did I mention my dh is in El Paso. So I am home alone....with 3 kids....one needing medical attention.....what to do? what to do?
So into the car we go.....They took 4 x-rays of his head, said his nose was not broken, then the dr that was in there had not looked at the child, explained he would look up in there.....and looked at the CHILD, and said Oh MY! I am not looking in there am I? I said, well I wasn't going to tell you NO, but I was wondering how that was going to work. He said, WOW That is really swollen, and I said, That's why I came in, I was afraid it was broken and it being so swollen I could not tell if it was straight any longer. He said put ice on it for 3 days and if in 7-10 days if the swelling is not better I have to take him back in.
The darker it got last night the more purple and larger his nose got. The whole "middle" section of his nose is purple....or it was last night. He slept elevated on his Spider-Man couch, so maybe that will help. I explained I had "picked" his nose with a Q-tip and there was still at 6 p.m. fresh blood. etc....making more sure I wanted him seen.
Anyway, another trial in our household. Another Jeckle moment. Life is not dull at our house.....my kids keep me busy!
