Busted lips- Broken Arms

Well I forgot to mention. In all my frenzy of a day yesterday(dr appt, reg. coltin for school) when I got home from the DES office, Coltin and Conner were arguing over the box that the diapers came in. Well Conner tripped and his face landed right on the corner of one of the edges of the box. Immediatley his lip started gushing out blood. I pick him up sit him on the counter and start getting paper towels to try and clean it up. But it wont stop bleeding, not even long enough for me to look at it to see how big a gash it is and if he needs stitches. Well after 5 minutes, he is still bleeding profusley, so in my moment of panic I get the kids in the car and we drive to the hospital. I get them out and stand in line at the childrens e.r. As I'm waiting, Coltin is running around the place, and Conner is awnry. I then asses Conner. He had stopped bleeding and wasnt crying anymore. So I figure, that it will heal on it's own and that I do not need to WASTE my time in the E.R for the dr to tell me there is nothing he can do about it. So I took my chances and we went home(yes, after being there for not even 5 min). He's okay now, and I tried to take a pic but he wasnt cooperating very well with me. It's healing just as I thought it would. I wish I wouldnt have paniced so bad tho. I wouldnt have wasted a few gallons of gas going to the er.
Then today I FINALLY got to see my 2 nephews who I consider my own children at times. (oh, I just loooove them so much and I hadnt seen them in almost a month) So I meet my sister down at sss mall playplace. She went to go find her daughter some school clothes and I watched all 4 boys in the play area. They were all getting along great and having a grand ol' time. Then Coltin had put Ryder(who is 20 months old, 30 days younger then Conner) on the tunnel drum thingamabobber. Ryder stood up and started walking toward the center of it and FELL backwards. I couldnt see how he landed cuz the darn drum tunnel was in the way. So I rushed over and picked him up. He was crying. and kept holding his arm. I called Cadie. And then Ryder fell asleep on me. We got some lunch and by this time an hour later Ryder was still whining and complaining that his arm hurt( he can talk exceptionally well for a 20 month old) So I volunteered to take Bubba to my house so that Cadie can take Ryder to the Dr. They got xrays and sure enough, he broke his arm in 2 places. He's got a splint on it right now and goes in tomorrow to get it casted. Poor guy. Not too long ago(maybe 2 months or so ago) Ryders hand was smashed in the door jam (the side with the hinges on it) and his hand is still swollen from that. Whats going to happen next and to whom? I guess we will find out.

Sorry this is so long.
