It hasn't even been a week and we were back in the ER. Evan was munching on a Barbie table and toppled forward breaking his frenulum open again. This time the bleeding would not stop. I called the blood center knowing what the answer would be. So, we packed up the family and headed to grandma Mil's to drop off Eve and Ezra before heading to the ER to get the infusion of Benefix that Evan needs. We had a doctor that was telling us what the options were for a split frenulum and it was obvious that he had not been informed of Evan's special lack of clotting skills. We pulled out the factor and pretty much told him this is what he needs then kindly asked what other things we could do to help that little tab of skin heal. After he recovered from his surprise he was very helpful. Ultimately, he said he was going to sign off on the infusion and get the nurses in to administer factor. Our favorite nurse from the night shift happened to be on duty this morning too. One of the other nurses gave Evan a poke then let Bethany have a stab at it. Success in his foot again. So now Bethany is 3 for 5, yes we keep score. It took nearly 30 minutes after his infusion before the bleeding stopped. Now, that is what we expected when he broke it in the first place. Only 12 more days till Evan gets his port.
