First, my sympathies - trips to emergency are traumatic for everyone.
Second, WHAT were the kids doing to achieve all these trips in such a short time??
Native son took one ambulance ride at 6 weeks old and that scared me enough to put him in a bubble the rest of his life.
Bilmore, time to dish the dirt.

Hmmm . . .
(You're not social services, right?)
Last five:
1. Snowboarding - collision with rail (broken arm, stitches)
2. Wrestling with friend - collision with concrete wall corner (stitches).
3. Snowboarding - collision with other snowboarder (stitches).
4. Brothers wrestling on stairs (broken arm.)
5. Found old barbed wire fence in the woods (stitches).
Trips to the ER are no longer traumatic. One son in particular can now look at his wounds and accurately estimate the number of stitches needed, how many pokes with the novocaine needle, etc. We now know to bring books, homework, etc. with us. When a son recently spent a weekend at a family friend's new cabin, we gave them a housewarming present of a big first aid kit. They laughed. And then, they got the chance to use it that weekend.
