Raelynn came up with this idea that we needed to start having Family Meeting Nights. These are to consist of a 30 minute meeting to discuss things we think need changed in our family and things we really like or appreciate. Basically it is a time to air all feelings. We decided to hold these meetings the last Saturday of every month. Tonight was our fist meeting. I think for the first time things went pretty well. The kids decided they needed to go to bed earlier which made Terry and I laugh, and Terry and I decided they both needed to get ready more efficiently in the mornings. We all decided we have a pretty great family! After our "meeting" we had pizza and watched a movie. For the most part it was a pretty great night. The only interruption was that Coop had a blood blister burst early in the evening and it wouldn't stop bleeding. It happened about 5pm and we have tried everything to get his blood to clot but as of 10pm it was still bleeding. Luckily the area is small and the blood loss is not significant but the fact that his blood will not clot is concerning. My Dad has quite a bit of medical training and works as an EMT. He has advised us and we are holding out until morning providing it does not get worse. We sent the video below to my Dad so he could see what it was doing. No need to watch it if you don't want to see a small burst of blood.
It just keeps doing that over and over again no matter how much pressure we apply, ice we apply or anything else. No indication of stopping either. Anyway, it is so hard not to worry or be alarmed but we are just waiting it out and hoping it does not end with a trip to the ER by morning.
