08.13.05 Nice Scar
Gresham, age almost 3, went to the emergency room last night just after dinner. He jumped off of an ottoman and onto the couch, which was bouncy enough to catapult him over the back of the couch and into a wooden table a few feet away. Apparently he’s got a vertical.
Three hours later, Dr.Todd at Williamson Medical Center’s emergency room tells us he’s fine. He’ll just have some gnarly scars on his right eye lid and eyebrow for life and a golf ball sized knot just above for a few days. He looks like Rocky in the third round. Cool.
It’s kind of sick I know but I’m proud. A trip to the emergency room is a rite of passage into manhood, or a mark of stupidity. Maybe both. Either way, he’s a little more like me now.
nancy tylerYou’re all boys you know. Three or thirty-one. Doesn’t matter.
Hang in there Becky!

At 9 I broke my thumb and my father refused to take me to the doctor...I had no desire to ‘become a man’ that’s for sure...some men can take it too far.

poor little guy ... :o(
and if you are wondering why your sidebar has slide down below the posts ... it is because of the post with the multiple pics (play - i think you called it) and the writing by the side ... if you take the side writing off, your blog should right itself!
helping you make the 300+ daily ... but i must dash to work now (salt mines in the Park - yes even on a Sunday) ... blessings!

Glad he’s ok. My son didn’t have his first visit till age 8 but ended up spending five days, so it was worth the wait for him...he loved it (I of course was traumatized).

Except if it’s something stupid like getting a grape stuck in your throat. Yeah, and the bills for something like that are outrageous.

I have got a three year old to and he has already been to the ER a time or two. At first it will scare you to death, then once you find out the little guy is OK, everything then is cool. I am glad he is doing fine.
God bless, Joe

OUCH! I hope he at least got ice cream afterward. He’s official now. Welcome to the “scarred world” Gresham.
