The Little Drunker Boy, Part I

I was at Scouts a few weeks ago and didn't have my cell phone with me. When I came home and saw Heather's car gone and Robin's truck in front of our house, I smelled trouble.

Turns out Caleb bit 3/4's of the way through his tongue vertically and about 1/3 of the way across his tongue horizontally.


I rushed off to be a part of the fun (thank you Robin), and boy o' boy did I have it. Lots of it. Caleb was actually very happy pre-surgery we played and laughed and had fun taking pictures.

He couldn't have surgery until the food he had eaten a few minutes before the accident was out of his system so we had time to play.

He didn't like the IV though and it took 5 tries and the special team to get one successfully in.



Anyway, the surgery went well, just before they started the Nurses brought us some slushies, I felt like I was at the movies, watching surgery while slurping a grape slushy.

After the surgery the doctor wouldn't release Caleb until he could show that he was off of the effects of Kedamine. The nurse suggested that we get him to play a game or move around. He was so funny. He acted just like he was drunk. He staggered, he swayed, he drooled.

For a while he played the game of repeatedly hitting me in the head with a stuffed dolphin. Each time he hit me I would cry out "ohhh." He would laugh in his adorable drunk way.

He reminded me so much of the boy on this short video (well worth the watch):

How? How did he do that? Glad he is all sewn up and doing better!

He's a Day Tripper. Tripped on the way to the bathroom.
