We were talking after church and the boys (all of ours along with Parker and Drew) were throwing rocks into the water drainage area. Grant bent down to dig a rock out of the dirt. Jack discovered a small boulder and launched it, right into Grant's head. It was an impressive hit for a 2 year old. The crying and bleeding began so the non head trauma boys went with the Kelley's while Nate and I took Grant to the E.R.
Grant did pretty well, all things considered. He calmed down and was fine until we had to tell each person that asked about how it happened. Then he'd start crying all over again. He kept saying, "I didn't know Jack was going to throw it there." In the end they estimated his gash to be a little over an inch long and they closed it back with 3 staples. FYI- no numbing agent was used before the stapler. He got some tylenol with codeine and that was it. Grant didn't cry too much with the staples, amazingly. However, when the nurse tried to wrap the bandage around his head he lost it.
(if you are squeamish you might not want to look at the first picture though it is very blurry so the detail isn't that graphic)
I know this is a horrible picture but it gives you a little idea.
The aftermath though it's really hard to see the staples. Grant wanted me to take a picture so he could see them. I am not looking forward to cleaning that up...
We tried convincing him it's cool to wear an ace bandage around your head, like a ninja, but I don't think he bought it.
This was the spot on our bed before we went to sleep. It was pretty big. I didn't take a picture of it the next morning but it was approximately 4 feet long and soaking wet. Nate and I laid in bed with the flashlight pointed at the ceiling of the tent watching the water drip, then POUR, onto our bed. It was coming in at every seam. It was a super night. The little guys didn't seem to notice.
