It Has Been 6 Years.....


Oh the advances in medical technology are great. Did you know that you can seal up a head wound with superglue?

Yep. You guessed it. Austin tripped and fell last night and we made a trip to the emergency room. We don't know what he did really. He was SUPPOSED to be going to take a shower and instead he ends up on the office floor bleeding from his head. He managed to somehow catch his head on the office chair just above and to the left of his left eye. Swelled up almost instantly which was nice because it stopped the bleeding a lot faster!

The picture doesn't really do him justice. (I'll see if Greg can take one this afternoon that is better.) Greg had to clean him up and applied a bandaid on our way out the door and he bled through that at the hospital. They cleaned him up again and applied the big gauze and then he bled through that and finally he got this little contraption that just caught the blood that was dripping down his face. Anyway, he's fine. Some Dermabond was applied and we were out of there! No fuss, no muss. Didn't have to knock him out, didn't have to numb anything.

All this to get out of taking a shower. Well, joke is on him... because he got the Dermabond instead of stitches he can hop in the shower tonight!
