Battle Wounds w/ Dad

While working the Kids Exchange the other day I got a phone call from Benjamin that said I 'probably' wanted to come home. (which is code for...You should come home). He and Camp had been playing with one of his new birthday presents in the house and he ran right into the corner of the granite counter tops. I'm SO thankful I wasn't there because Benjamin said there was SO much blood everywhere. Thankfully one of our neighbors is an ER nurse and was so great to come over and doctor him up!



We thought maybe the strips would hold the cut together but unfortunately it kept bleeding off and on throughout the next day.



We ended up having to make a visit to an urgent care to get his head glued up. I'm so thankful that we did! Look at that sweet baby's head. ; (



He was SO tough. Not one tear was shed while they pulled the bandages off and then glued his head up. He just squeezed my hand as tight as he could when the doctor told him that it was going to burn.

Now he has a great battle wound on his head to prove how tough of a cookie he is! ; )



P.S. He and Dad are no longer allowed to play ball inside the house. ; )

*A funny little side story is that he was so proud of his wound. He has been telling people ever since...

"Hey!! Did you know that I have a hole in my head?!?"
