Hospital again...



At 6am I here ike crying downstairs and then nate is at the door saying, I hurt ike, there is alot of blood on his head... I go downstairs and Shook Fun is wiping the blood off his face to reveal a big gash on his eyebrow... so off to the emergency room we go.

The doctor admits him and books him a plastic surgeon, we have to wait around till 10, he whines about being hungry and thirsty. Ike falls asleep 10 mins before the procedure and sleeps the whole way continuing into his nap. The gash is about 1 inch, right to the bone, no nerves severed, should have minor or no scar and may have lost a few hairs on the spot of the cut.

Here are some before and after pics, before in PJ's luckily he is wearing his fireman themed one and the blood splatter is not so apparent. After out of surgery he gulps down a big glass of water a box of milo and some lunch.

Seems fine but will have to keep his bandages for a week, the dr gave him internal dissolvable stitches and some other scar reduction gel.

Another day, another boo boo.

How did it happen... apparently ike was in the stroller and nate was pushing him around, he got a bigger push and Shook Fun didn't catch it and it tipped over with ike knocking his head on the corner of the concrete sidewalk paving.
