The Mystery of the Bloody Hand

Zane rolled over in bed and saw this on the sheets.

The first words out of his mouth that morning were then, "Ariane, why is there a bloody hand print on our sheets?"

Not Zane's usual first words.

After the fog cleared from our too tired heads, the memories of the night before came back. Dallin climbing in our bed saying he had a bloody nose at 2:30 in the morning, turning on the bedside lamp, dabbing at Dallin's nose saying it wasn't a big deal (there was a tiny bit of blood coming out of his nose), and telling everyone to go back to sleep.

After seeing the blood on our sheets, we checked Dallin's bed. Blood drops and smears were on his pillow and sheets where he must of wiped his nose repeatedly smearing blood everywhere before climbing into our bed.

I think it is time to buck up and get his nose cauterized. Anyone had this done or had to get their child's nose cauterized? Dallin's had bloody noses since he was very young. He doesn't even flinch when it happens. He just calmly walks to the bathroom telling me he has a bloody nose.

It sure was an interesting way to wake up!
