Once upon a time I was leaving my house for 12 hours to be a vendor at a mom's night out event in South Jordan.
As I was leaving I asked Brandon if he wanted me to leave the car seats.
He said, "No I'm not going anywhere."
I said, "I better. Someone might need stitches or something."
You see every time a child gets hurt around here it's when I'm gone.
2001 - Christian needs 7 stitches in his forehead - I was at work.
We had a pretty good run.
Then. . .
2006 - Parker swallows a coin and needs x-rays - I was visiting teaching
2007 - Parker and Christian were wrestling and Parker popped the back of his head open. Needing 2 staples. - I was shopping.
2007 - Parker fell and hit an end table requiring 6 stitches about his eye - I was shopping.
Fast forward to Friday the 13th I am in TERRIBLE traffic in Taylorsville when I get a call from the neighbor mom across the street. "Steph, Parker and Jaci were playing in the exercise room and he cut his pinkie finger on a piece of equipment and it's pretty bad." I'm thinking CRAP! So I give her Brandon's number.
Brandon gathers up the other 2 kids and runs over. There is my poor neighbor holding pressure on Parker's finger, her 6 year old vomiting from seeing all the blood, her other 3 children and 5 other friends running through the house. She is a saint I tell you, A SAINT! Neither she nor Brandon can figure out if it needs stitches so they wait for her husband to come home. He was off getting a bazillion pizzas for all the kids.
It was decided stitches were needed and again I got a phone call. It had been 30 minutes, I was still in traffic but this time I was in West Jordan. (It was a BAAADDDD traffic night!) Brandon doesn't know where to take him. We've never had an emergency here and we know that our insurance is not a popular one in Cache Valley. Brandon decides he'll just figure it out and I decide to try and keep driving. Well after much deliberation our way cute neighbor who just also happens to be a dentist decides to take Parker down to his office and stitch him up. How Nice is that?!!
So if you are in need of any dental care and happen to be here in Cache Valley or even if you're not go visit:
