First Stitches

Well, it seems like it was bound to happen sooner or later with six kiddos.  C had to get stitches last night, 3 of them.  He was accidentally hit in the head with a baseball bat by a teammate prior to his game.  It was totally an accident, nobody is blaming anyone - yet it bugs me that it was preventable.  He ended up having a CT scan and everything checked out just fine, he just keeps the stitches for 5 days.  C's attitude has been great through it all, although I don't envy him the headache he surely has.

If you get a chance to pray for him these next few days as the wound closes, we certainly appreciate it.

My shirt and his shirt as well as his Jersey were covered in blood for hours.  I won't scare you with the before-cleanup horror picture!  Anyway, I couldn't believe it when I saw them today completely clean.  David hand scrubbed them in the sink with water and Purex Crystals, then ran them through the wash, and got the stains out.  I had no idea Purex worked on blood stains, good to know!
