Luke's First ER Visit

Last night while Luke was in the bathtub he slipped and cracked the bottom of his chin against the edge of the tub. It was a pretty deep gash and it was gaping open so we decided to take him to the emergency room to see if it needed stitches. Mimi came to stay at the house since Lily was already asleep and we loaded Luke into the car and drove to Methodist Willowbrook. We were there for about an hour and forty five minutes and Luke was a total rock star. He was very tired, but he just hung out and we read books and did Hidden Pictures. The doctor decided it didn't need stitches, so he just glued it back together and put some tape on it. Luke never cried or got upset at all and he hasn't messed with the tape today at all. Here's how his chin looks now.

On another note, today we took him to Texas Children's to see the rheumatologist about his knee and foot pain. The doctor said he seems perfectly healthy and it's likely he just has a severe and slightly odd case of growing pains. So we're good for now but they will continue to monitor him and see if he grows out of it within the next year or so.

And I guess maybe Lily was feeling left out of all the excitement, because this morning she woke up with a rash all over her body. So we're going to see the pediatrician in the morning to figure out what that's all about. I'm hoping it's just a reaction to the shots she got on Tuesday...
