Well...

it certainly was an eventful day. yesterday morning derek's parents called and asked if we could go to their house and get things started, as far as breakfast and fire, because derek's dad was going to the ER. his leg was hurting and it turns out he had another blood clot, just as was suspected. well, they came back a few hours later and we got on with the festivities. we had a really nice Christmas (Xmas) and had a good prime rib dinner, courtesy of charlie. after all was said and done, we were ready to head home at about nine o'clock in the evening. we got andrew into his boots and coat and got him zipped up and told him to go say goodbye to everyone. on the way to the couch he tripped and fell, hitting his head on the coffee table. my poor little guy started bleeding really bad and we took him to the ER for stitches. then we saw nursemom up on the thirdfloor and she heard the whole story. andrew is doing fine. as long as he doesn't act drunk or confused in the next few weeks, he should be okay, and he can get his stitches out on tuesday.
