Ouch!

I'll start with the visuals first...
Poor Gage has had no luck in the broken head category. This is the second head related mishap for him in 6 months (see the post from May 24). This time Katelyn tried to pick him up and he fell forward and banged his head on the edge of the window sill. He is now our first kid with stitches, and I'm hoping we don't have to ever do it again. It was horrible! Gage was so afraid, and we had to hold him down while the nurse stuck a nasty looking hooked needle through his eyebrow over and over again to sew it up. And I know it's very superficial, but I hope he comes out of this with a normal eyebrow. It wasn't the best sewing job, although it is hard to sew together a moving target. But, I guess it's not the worst thing that could have happened so we're grateful. And the best part is that Gage does not even remember what happened last night. Once in a while he'll point to his eyebrow and say 'Owie' but that's it. Poor little buddy.

poor kid! I hate having to hold down my kids while doctors do mean things to them, so I feel bad for you too. But maybe he'll have a cool scar that he can think is manly or something when he is older.
