I end up feeding them about 60% of the time and I honestly don't know about using the bathroom. The boy is pretty timid, so he wouldn't ask to go here. He's the only one that gets locked outside. For some reason they don't seem to lock the girl out. Who knows? And yes, pach, I see the connections, but they are frustrating.

The mother came over about 5:30 this evening and made a big to-do about apologizing for me taking care of the boy and said that "he knew he could wake me up" and went on and on about working late (she's a waitress), blah, blah I have very little respect for her. Anyway, the cut was still bleeding at 5:30. It happened around 9:30 this morning. She said she got her husband to bring his emt kit home (from the squad car) and he cleaned the wound and re-wrapped it, but it was still bleeding at that point. So I came inside and got this second skin type bandage stuff and told her to use that. It could have successfully gotten stitches this am, but after waiting so long the skin flap was dying and I'm fairly sure stitches would be effective now. I'm also worried about infection because the glass is dirty.

Thanks for this!
