Mr. Lucky

Ryan has already narrowly escaped the emergency not once, but TWICE, this week...and it's only Thursday! On Sunday, he was acting crazy and somehow fell and hit the back of his head on our entertainment center...right on the sharp corner. He had an instant goose egg, but luckily no blood! We kept a close eye on him the rest of the day, but he seemed fine.

And then last night I thought FOR SURE, we were headed to the ER. We were outside and sitting on my in-laws' deck. They have like 4 or 5 steps leading up to it. Ryan was coming up them, trying to carry this little punching bag thing and lost his balance. It was like one of those things that you see happening in slow motion, yet you can't get there fast enough. Daddy threw down two things he was holding in his hands and leaped down the stairs, but he was too late to catch him. Poor Ryan started freaking out before he was even done rolling down the stairs : (. He somehow avoided hitting his head and cracking it open on the stairs or the cement below. He did end up with an instant bruise and knot on his forearm from landing on it on the edge of the step, and a small scrape on his back. When I saw him going down, I thought for sure we were going to be heading to the hospital to get more staples or stitches. After a few minutes, we got Ryan calmed down and he held some ice on his arm. He was telling us, "I rolled down the steps, just like I did at Nanny's and Pap's!" LOL. In December, he took a tumble down the inside stairs at my mom and dad's. Luckily they are carpeted, as is the floor at the bottom, because he fell rolled quite a bit further, and he narrowly missed their buffet at the bottom of the stairs.

They say bad things happen in 3's and I hope we're not in for another close call with Ryan (or worse) this week!
