You may think from the pictures that it was a football injury, but it was not. He actually ran into a bar at the playground when he was not paying attention. This injury led to one of the more interesting and more talked of doctor daddy related stories in our family thus far. Wes and I were not excited to go to the ER with him as it costs a ton and we were paying out the wazoo already for Wes's Turkey bowl injury related follow up from January, and my pregnancy. Wes said he could actually easily deal with the head injury with some of the glue they use in the er. We had some, so we proceeded to do what the kids now call "home surgery". Wes wanted to make darn sure it was clean so he bought 2 contact solutions bottles (the big ones) and squirted them on the wound to clean it out as I held a screaming Ender down for what felt like an eternity.
THEN we had to put on the glue-it was a struggle with an irrational 6 year old at that point, but we did it and Wes and I felt like it was done well and worked out...but now Ender brings it up often and he will say things like "Don't run around-you'll get hurt and you will have to get HOME SURGERY!" (That Home surgery part is said in a very foreboding voice...)
I would have forgotten to include this story in this mass catch up, but Ender found the pics and INSISTED I write about it...
