This Could Be a Loooong Night

Tonight we offered to keep the three grandkids. The kids and I were suppose to attend a Harvest Festival out of town. It was cancelled due to the bad weather. It was decided we would do a stay at home evening. Kick back and relax with the kids. Things were going along smoothly. Tink was in her room watching a movie. The Kid was at the table working on a project. Coco was on her Popop's lap reading to him. She sat with him close to 45 minutes. She got up walked over by the front door. About two feet from Popop. Next thing we heard was glass shattering. I knew it was my giant vase. My heart fell. I could not imagine what I was going to see when I got around the loveseat. Popop beat me to her. He was holding her looking at her hands. She had blood on her hand. He said I can't see anything. At that point I saw the blood gushing from her head. It had already saturated the back of her shirt. By the time Hubby was heading for the bathroom I had a wash cloth to him. Uncle was grabbing ice. Hubby kept pressure on it. I took a look. Made the decision to call parents. Once the bleeding stopped it looked like one stitch would be needed. Hubby was able to get Coco to stop screaming. Everyone calm, except.....The Kid. He was freaking. We were too calm. He wanted something done. He wanted someone accountable. He wanted an adult frantic like he was. At this point bleeding stopped, Coco was ready for Grammy. I took her to the rocking chair and she fell asleep. Parents came. They had called their wonderful Doctor who has won their trust stitching the older kids. Including a major stitching of Tink last year. Doctor was working the emergency room. He met Coach and Tru Stories in the waiting room. Glued it, and they were on the way. No paperwork was even done. A milk shake was called for, everyone happy.
Hubby and I patted ourselves on the back for a job well done. We are really good at this emergency stuff now. That said, we do not want to have to see injured Grandkids. Think that is even worse than injured kids!!
By the time Coco got back dinner was on the table. Coach and Tru Stories headed out to their Halloween party. Hubby and I are ready for kids to be in bed. Think I could have used a glass of wine tonight!! It is possible the kids and I will be asleep by 9:30. Long night, long, long night!
