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!!
Oh man! Good thing for insurance, good friends and little helpers! looks like Pomerado? Glad he is doing better.

April 9th, 2010 at 2:32 pmAaack! Glad you were around to help and that it wasn’t more serious! I like how Hudson was quizzing his dad and helping him.
