2nd time around!!!!

So apparently Shad decided that his first stitches weren't good enough so he wanted to try for another round. He was outside yesterday playing at the neighbors house, when I heard him crying. I go running outside and the neighbor girl is walking him home with blood running down his face and a gash on his cheekbone. He slipped on some ice and hios face oboviuosly took the fall for him. My first thought was, "Why couldn't this have been a few weeks ago when we had our deductable met?!" Then I thought,"His scar from his last one in Dec. hasn't even healed completely yet!" So Dave and I yet again made that trip to see the our Doc. who was on call last night! (lucky for us) This time he only got 2 stitches, but it is swollen and black and blue.

This picture was right after I cleaned it out.

Not for the faint of heart! This was at the Doctors when I put the numbing stuff on it.

Right after stitches...he was a sweaty little boy from criing. He did do better than he did that last time...and so did daddy. Dave didn't hold him, he played on his phone, the nurse and I did. Which was nice because we made it so he could see me the whole time.


These 2 pictures are as of this morning. He still is too cute though!"Howdy Partner" is what he told me right before I took it!

So hopefully this will be our last for a while, but I am afraid not becuase things tend to come in 3's!

Oh, poor little Shad! I don't know, how you do it, I'm like Dave... I could hardly stand looking at those pictures! YUCK, blood! Things do come in 3's, so you better watch out! I'm sorry for whatever it is in advance :) Oh, and I totally hear ya on the deductible thing... that is so frustrating!

Oh my goodness! Stitches for the second time. He seems like a brave little guy, that stinks that you have to pay your deductible again...that's the one bad thing about the new year! Well, he is very cute and I hope he heals soon!

Oh your poor baby!! Ahhh the life of boys, I guess?!! He is so darling. Thank goodness for insurance, I guess you will just get a head start on your deductible this year! haha

OH, I'm so sorry. It's probably not quite as bad the second time right? I mean for you. Hope he is well. We are still waiting for Preston's scar to diminish as well.
