Masons 1st ER trip





Mason finally got inducted into our family hall of pain! His 1st trip to the ER got him 8 stitches in his ankle. He slipped on the bathroom floor and sliced his leg open, and when Devin called me and said, "Mason needs to go get stitches" I knew it was bad, b/c there has only been one other time he has said that one of the kids needs to get stitched up and that was when Hunter was 5 and he gashed his head open and got 7 staples........usually we fix it up ourselves. (you gotta make do with 8 monkeys running around). Mason was a little nervous about going, but calmed down when Devin told him that kids that have to go to the ER get a kids meal from McDonald's when they are done. That made it feel all better! He cried and cried while they numbed it up, but overall he was really good. When he got home he was super excited to show off his stitches to all the other kids.

Yeah, that cut looks pretty gruesome! Good thing Devin saved the day with the words "happy meal." Poor Mase!

Oh that makes my tummy turn, I don't do well with that kind of stuff. At least Mason will have a wicked cool scar to show off!
