A trip to the ER



Cameron decided to end his first year of T-Ball with a bang, literally! While at his end of the year team party he got his first trophy and then a few minutes later, his first trip to the ER. Neither Ashley or I saw his fall, but apparantly he fell into the merry-go-round at the park and gashed his forehead. We all piled into the minivan and I sped to the ER at a speed that I didn't know a Honda minivan could get up to. About 1.5 hours later Cameron got 11 stitches. The cut was so deep they did two internal and 9 external stitches. He also took a trip to the catscan to make sure there was no bleeding in his head or fractures in his skull.
It was quite 'comforting' to me that every time an ER nurse or doctor saw his head they said "WOW, that is a deep cut." I made deal with Ashley years ago that I would be the blood and guts guy if she would be the poops and throw ups person. But even this pushed the limits for me.

We are so excited that our third little boy, Carter, is here! He was born on May 9th, 8 lbs 13 oz and 21 inches long.
