The Hospital…Again?!

I’m sure you were all hoping that a swarm of bees had finally gotten the best of me.  I’m sorry to disappoint you.  Will was the one who fell victim this time around.  He got in a fight with a piece of glass and lost.  I had a bag that had some broken pieces of glass in it and Will took it off the door handle.  I think he forgot about it because he then stepped on the bag on the way out of the room.  He says he heard a loud pop and thought it was the bag, when in fact the sound came from the glass puncturing the arch of his foot.  All I heard was, “Jessica can I get some help?”  Once I assessed the situation and realized that Will was getting light headed, we all hopped into action.  Annie was getting pillows and rubbing Will’s forehead.  Hudson was good to ask Will a series of math problems to keep him focused.

Hudson: Dad, what is 1+1…how about 2+4…what is 4+4. etc.

He took his job very seriously, which gave me time to administer enough first-aid to get him mobile and on his way to the hospital.

Our friend, Jessica(what a lifesaver!) was good enough to let me drop Hudson off after that so I could get Will taken care of.  Annie and I watched as they gave some painful shots. The cut was only about an inch wide, but the doctor did say the injury was significantly deeper than it was wide.  I didn’t doubt her as she pried his foot open looking for glass shards.  5 stitches and a roll or two of gauze later, we were on our way back home to let Will rest.  He says he feels like he is walking on a spiked softball.  I can’t help but wonder if he needed more stitches.  His stitches bled for a good 5 days after.  Is that even normal?!  Stitches come out this coming Monday and then hopefully life will be a little more back to normal.  We love you Will!!
