Today turned out to be a really nice day out. So naturally we played outside in the backyard. We were just getting ready to come inside when Nathan tripped on a board and fell head first onto the sidewalk. The first thing we noticed was a little rock indented in his forehead. I didn't even have to think twice...we were in the car and on our way to Urgent care within minutes. SURE ENOUGH this is what they had to dig out of Nathan's forhead!!
It was in far enough that at first the doctor didn't even think there was a rock in there. After scrubbing it clean and taking a better look, she saw what I already knew was there. It took her a pair of tweezers AND a small pair of sizzers to get it out. So hard to watch him go through that. He cried so hard and Cass and I had to hold him there. He got all sweaty and his cheeks turned all pink. Once we were done and got back home, you would never know that he had just been traumatized.

Trying to get a good picture of the band aide.
My little trooper! I'll post pictures after the bandaide comes off and you can see the real wound.

Oh man! What a trooper! Poor guy. No stitches, I take it? Do you think he'll have a scar?
So glad to hear about Cass's jobs!!
Ohhh... poor Nathan! That is so hard to do the doctor/ER thing, and have to hold them down. (Been there done that!) Glad to hear he is doing good, and so are you guys.
Love Ya!
That is so scary!! Ugh, I'm not looking forward to that kind of stuff, I don't handle it all that well. But I'm glad he's ok and it's funny how kids totally forget about it after it's all said and done.
