With Brent and I both being in the medical field, it shouldn't surprise you that we have a fairly comprehensive First Aid Kit. The interesting thing is - we have never had to use it on ourselves. Seriously. Our First Aid Kit gets more use from bruised/bleeding neighborhood children, than our own.
Yesterday was the exception. Ashlan walked through the front door limping and crying...
She had her first scraped knee. Brent disagrees with me and says this wasn't her first... A mom would remember if that was the case, right? I still say this was her first scraped knee!
So now we were able to actually use our First Aid Kit....not that I'm proud of this. I don't wish injury on any member of my family. But I am pretty proud of our Homemade First Aid Kit.
Here's Ashlan cleaning her battle wound!
Nothing that a little peroxide, ointment, and band-aid won't fix!
And she's ready to head back outside and continue playing....
**I must add a note that we did use the First Aid Kit a few months ago when Brent decided to nearly cut off his finger while cutting an onion... When we look back at that incident, we should have retreated to the nearest Emergency Room rather than our little First Aid Kit. Oh well... Apply enough pressure and it'll eventually stop bleeding!**

Sorry to Ashlan and Brent but so glad to see that someone aside from Holden has used the first aid kit.

Well it's always a good thing to be prepared. Hope ashlan feels better!
