McKay's first trip to the ER

On Thursday, McKay and I were just at work having a wonderful day..and then suddenly BAM! McKay lunged for a toy and hit his head on the corner of a cupboard. I thought at first that it was just a little bump, but when I went to pick him up he was bleeding everywhere. I, of course, freaked out and didn't know what to do. Everyone at the gym were such dolls and helped me get McKay to the hospital. When we got the hospital McKay had stopped crying and was acting just fine. The bleeding kinda stopped, and I thought that we weren't going to even need stitches. I was still shaking and in shock when the Dr. started the stitches--10 beautiful stitches and 2 underneath because it was so deep. McKay was so brave, and I have a feeling this is only our first trip to the ER. My baby is so active and wild, I can't even fathom the things that are going to happen from now until he is two or three.
p.s. thank goodness I'm such a chill mom, I thought I would be freaked out a lot more, but I did really good, but a tribute that to my brave child. McKay wasn't freaking out, so I wasn't!
