What Happened?

**Warning** This story is not for the weak stomached.

Last night I was awoken in the middle of the night at 2 a.m. by Justus crying. I at first tried to ignore it thinking he had just woken up and would fall back asleep, but then Matthias woke up as well so I decided I better get up and put them both back to bed before they woke everyone in the house up. I first went in to check on Thi. He was easy enough to put back to bed. I covered him up and gave him Monkey and he was out. I then headed to Justus' room. As soon as I entered the room I was welcomed by the smell of a dirty diaper. Justus was sitting on his knees on his bed crying, "I stinky." I told him I could tell. I then told him to close his eyes while I turned on the light. When I turned on the light I was shocked at what I saw. There was blood everywhere...I mean EVERYWHERE. His face was completely covered. It was in his ear, on his sheets, on the wall, his legs, and his pajamas were covered. He was crying and it was in his mouth and dripping down his chin. There was even a blood clot on his shirt. I at first didn't even know what had happened or where the blood was coming from. Everything imaginable went through my mind. Did he fall off the bed? Is he seriously hurt? Do I need to call 911? I scooped him up and woke Jonathan up and took Justus to the bathroom. He was crying and a little shaky. I was so overwhelmed I didn't even know where to begin. I started wiping his face and realized the source of the bleeding was a bloody nose. It was so gross...blood clots and dripping. I was a little scared and thought we might have to take him to the emergency room. I had never seen a bloody nose that was so bad. His nose soon stopped bleeding and Justus seemed fine. We continued to clean him up and got his sheets, pajamas, and even his bear into the washer. Justus was in good spirits and we put him back to bed. It was definitely a little scary there for a minute, but he is totally fine.
