Bruscato Fam: Emergency Room

I told Easton Saturday night as we were driving to the emergency room that he was gonna be one of "those kids." Last year it was having his tooth knocked out(or in) and this year it was a trip to the ER with a gash to the forehead. I sat there and watched the whole thing happen...why I didn't stop it??? Good question...it was all over a toy gun. Easton was chasing Caelleb and before I knew it he went straight into the corner of the kitchen table. I knew when I saw him hit it it was not gonna be good and sure enough there was a nice little gash to his head. I would like to say I didn't freak out but I guess I did in way. All I could keep saying was, "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh." We got in the car right away and took him to the hospital. When we were half way there I realized he had no shoes and no jacket, just a short sleeve shirt. Luckily it did not bleed very much so the ride to the hospital wasn't too bad. Once we were in the car and he was settled down, the questions began... "Where we going?" "Am I gonna have to get a shot?" "Why I going to the hospital?" I answered the questions as honestly as I could because I wanted him to be prepared. I told him he was going to have to get stitches and he thought that sounded cool. He kept saying, "I'm gonna get stitches!" Once we got there he got into delirious mode. Everyone that walked by he would say,"Is that the doctor?" Then we got called back, he was such a big boy. First the lady took his temperature and blood pressure. She asked him his name and he told her "Easton." When she asked him his last name he said,"ascott."And of course he had to ask her everything she was doing. So then we went in the room and the nurse came in. He told him he was gonna clean his cut and cover it til the doctor came. Here's some of their conversation:

Easton: Why you have a fish on there(referring to the name tag on mans shirt)?

Nurse: I thought that fish looked better than me. Do you like to fish?

Easton(with big smile): Yeah...

Nurse: You do? Where do you fish?

Easton(without missing a beat): At the pond...

We informed the nurse he had never been fishing, it was pretty cute though. He never really cried in that room. He was so tough and acted like such a big boy. They had to strap him down when they did the stitches and he never cried. We told him on the way they would have suckers for him. As soon as they were done and he got off the table he said, "where's my sucker?" On the way home we were telling him how proud of him we were and that he was such a big boy. Scott told him he was tough and he said, "No, I not tough cuz I not a bad guy." Probably the funniest part of the whole night was when we pulled into the drive way, Easton said,"Mom, you think Caelleb's done with the toy now?" When we got in the house, all the kids were asking him questions and you could tell he was so proud. It was so cute how concerned the other kids were. Taina said they all said a prayer for him while we were gone. The next morning Tia came in our room and stood next to the bed. She said, "Is Easton feeling alright?" Easton said, "I not feeling good, my head hurts!" I imagine so!!!!! I was an interesting night...one I hope we don't ever have to repeat.
