Today we went to the Badem's house. Since we are Jarboes...chaos, of course, ensued.

We were invited over to watch Germany play Spain in the European Cup. Germany lost. Rainer was less than happy. Jack was in a bad mood and nothing seemed to make it better. He slept in til 8:30 and even took a decent nap but he was still fussy.
Anywho-- Dr. B, Ally, me and all 3 boys were in the pool and playing on the Megastation. After a while I put Jack in the hot tub with me. He FINALLY calmed down. He LOVED it! Shortly after the game the guys came outside to swim with us. All was going well until JP climbed out and a stair broke. He didn't say much--he just looked kinda pale and walked to the shallow end. When he got out he noticed his leg was bleeding. After Dr. B looked it over a second she decided he needed stitches. I, of course, broke the net to the Megastation trying to get out of the pool.

JP looked like he was going to throw his guts up after Dr. B had poked and prodded at his shin. I went inside with Jack and started calling relatives to keep Jack while I took him to the office. After a good while and reaching 5 different voice mails I finally reached my parents (I heard lalter all of JP's family had gone out on the boat together) and they said the would meet us at the clinic so I could help Dr. B stitch him up. It was really awesome of them to be there and help.

After raiding plastic surgery we found stitches and kits. We drew up some Lidocaine and had Jean lay down on the table. Dr. B cleaned the wound-which Jean says was the worst part-and numbed it. She gave him a Xanax to help him relax. She put in 5 or 6 stitches. She did a great job! We very rarely stitch anything in the office so it's fairly impressive. Not to mention she saved us over $100 in ER costs. Then she even fed us!

Rainer made his famous Rainer-Burgers and they were the best!

If JP was gonna have to have stitches this weekend-he did it at the right place. I can't thank Dr B enough for taking us to the office and dealing with all the craziness and my parents for dropping everything to help with Jack.
