Well what an afternoon we had. We went over to Grandma and Papa's to see their new puppy Bear. While Zach was in the backyard playing he was racing down the concrete patio area with a big tonka truck and it fit a post in the middle of the area and he went flying forward and hit his head on the post. I watched him do this and ran over to him and was shocked to see a big gash on his forehead and blood running down his face. Obviously something you never want to see happen to your child. Papa and I brought him into the house and tried to stop the bleeding. Thankfully Papa "just happened" (thank you Lord!) to have a really big bandaid in the medicine cabinet. That was good enough to get the bleeding under control and we headed to the walk-in clinic in Covington.
Here is Zach in the waiting room. His hair looks a little pink because of the blood in it.

I am so glad your little precious lamb is ok. I can't even begin to list the many times we have been to the ER, hospitals and through surgeries, with these three...ugh. You never get use to it no matter how many times it happens either. What a blessing that he fell asleep while they patched him up. I was kind of surprised they'd let him sleep like that after a head wound..we were always told to keep them awake.
Parenting isn't for the weak...
Have a wonderful Easter with your family =O)
Wow, you have had some real fun medical scares in the past few months! Glad to hear he is ok, and hopefully you have had your share of the emergency room for a LONG time:)
OUCH, the poor guy. Hope he is feeling well today. And I have to say you are truely dedicated to the P365 project to take pictures during the crisis.
