Holiday Weekend Casualty

During the Fourth of July holiday weekend, thousands of people spend time in the emergency room each year.  This was our year.  Bryant biffed it on a scooter that was falling apart and hit his chin on the pavement, slicing it open, gushing blood and resulting in 5 stitches.

Luckily enough for us, we didn't have to spend 8 hours in the E.R. because we were at a family party in Clinton, and were near enough to Mike's uncle's practice, that we could run over and have him stitched up in less than an hour-- Thanks Sheldon!

 This is where the images get a little more gruesome... viewer beware.

Although the initial shock of the injury resulted in some screaming and whaling, the actual sewing up job went great.  Bryant is a tough little guy when it comes to things like that.  The poor kid has been a good sport about staying out of the water and watching his chin.  Hopefully, we'll stay away from any more holiday weekend injuries.  Cross your fingers!
