FIRST "MAJOR" INJURY

After church today, we went over to Nana and Papa Lee's house to visit and eat lunch. We all were sitting in the sun room talking and watching Austin play. In this room my mom has a coffee table that has a glass top. Austin loves to stand there and play because he can't stand on his own yet. He was standing there talking, laughing, and playing with Ty and then Austin decided to jump up unexpectedly and hit his chin extremely hard on the table. OUCH! He cried silently for about 30 seconds, which felt like forever to me. As a mother when silent cries happen you know it's bad. I was holding him trying to get him to calm down as we thought he only hurt his chin. I did pretty well until Ty said, "Amanda he's bleeding!" I immediately bolted to the kitchen to get a towel and as I was walking I started to fall apart. I had all these thoughts going through my head...what if this..., what if that..., should we go to the hospital...I lost all control and started crying. Ty grabs Austin from me, my mom grabs a towel, and after a few minutes Austin was fine. Austin is definitely a tough boy! It happened so fast that we're not really sure if he hit his chin which made his bottom two teeth hit his gum on top or if he hit his mouth somehow when he came down on the table. I don't know, but it sure scared the mess out of me. I am so proud of Ty because he was right there for Austin and stayed strong for him the entire time. What a brave dad! I hope we don't experience anything like that ever again!

It is so hard to see them like, that I have been scared to even look at Peyton before not knowing how bad he was hurt. Beleive me this is the first of many more scary accidents, I worry so much about Peyton he is so active and know he thinks he is grown and can do anything. I am glad sweet little Austin is okay.
