I'm a Real Boy!

Jackson was initiated in to the "I'm a Real Boy" club today. First we went to get him his first REAL haircut. His hair was slowly getting out of control, and it was time to surrender mommy's uneven trims and go to a professional. He did surprisingly well during the haircut, I held him in my lap and they trimmed, buzzed and sprayed away! It took all but five minutes, and he was on his way. Then we met Nick at Hamilton Town Center Mall and just walked around and enjoyed the day. Jack was in his wheelchair sporting his new aviator sunglasses, and he was getting lots of ooh's and aaah's. He looked pretty sharp with his new haircut and sunglasses I must admit!

Then... BOOM. 

Seemingly in slow motion Nick and I both saw Jackson fall out of his wheelchair. I unbuckled his seat belt as I was loading his things in to the van and when I turned back around he is mid-fall towards the concrete. We tried to catch him, but gravity had already taken over. Jackson instantly had an enormous goose egg on his forehead. Nick and I were both mortified with what had just happened. Jackson cried for maybe 30 seconds. We decided that we should take him to the ER just to get checked out. IU Health just built a new hospital in Noblesville, and we could see it from where we were parked so we headed that way. 

Once in the ER we were sent right back, and a doctor greeted us at our room. He looked at Jackson and didn't even need to ask why we were there! To be on the safe side the MD ordered a CT scan on Jackson's head. Everyone was very friendly, and we waited less than 20 minutes for the CT scan results to come back. We were in and out of the ER in an hour! (probably due to the fact that Jack was the only patient) Everything was fine, just a bump. Jackson didn't seemed like he was bothered by his new shiner and was very happy!

Jackson fell asleep on the way home (the whole 5 minute ride) and we let him sleep while we made dinner.  It was a good end to a great week. We didn't even get a picture of his haircut before he bumped his head, I will know for next time! I can't wait to see what kind of adventures Jack will lead me on next week!
