Stitches


Really surprised Ethan has survived this long without an accident requiring stitches, so in many ways we were due.  Chris and I were on a short overnight get away for our anniversary when our friends called to say Ethan had cut his face and they were on their way to the ER.  Not having actually seen it yet (and honestly wanting to avoid a $600 bandaid)  I gave my whole "head wounds bleed a lot"  and "let's not rush to the ER just yet" spiel.  Then they sent me a picture of it to which I promptly replied "meeting  you at the ER".  Ethan was playing in the church gym and a much bigger boy fell onto him, planting his face into the floor, breaking his glasses which in turn filleted his face. Really lucky it missed his eye.  Looks bad in the picture but was practically healed up within a week. Pays to have young skin I guess!

Yes, this looked so bad after it happened and then I was amazed at how quickly it healed! I have a feeling many more ER visits are in your future though. He is an active little boy that seems to have not fear. And boy does he charm us all.
