An eventful day...

What started out as a quick shop, quickly turned into my idea of a nightmare when running round the corner of one of the shop aisles, at full pelt, Isaac ran straight into one of the metal cage display tables...
All I can still see is him bouncing back from it with blood everywhere!!!!! Having split the skin under his nose and with two eggs on his forhead, as with most children's injuries it looked worse than it was, but as he did go very quiet and bit of an odd colour, the ambulance was called out as were the "first responders".
I did feel somewhat out of my depth as Tom was still London way and I had all 5 children with me (well three were in the bus!) But thankfully I'd seen Penny walk out of the shop as I had gone in so I rang her and she made her way back to Sleaford to my rescue...
Penny together with the Lidl staff got all the children rounded up, and then took Leah and Benjamin back to hers' as I went in the ambulance with a very brave if a little too quiet Isaac and big brothers.
To save on too much disruption the crew arranged for us to be seen at Sleaford medical centre who deal with minor injuries. Isaac charmed the nurses with his big blue eyes and by now had started to smile again and chat. The bleeding had stopped and they decided stitches or glue was pobably unecessary. There were no signs of concussion from the whack he'd given himself although he was very lucky his nose had gone between the bars... I dare not think of what might have happened otherwise...
My big brave soldier is now recovering with a bit of a headache and swollen lip and I think mummy's nerves will take longer to get over it than Isaac's face..... What will Malcolm make of having a beaten up shepherd for Sunday's nativity play in church!
