Thursday night in the ER

We had plans for last night - we were busy getting our patio set up after our deck had been pressure washed when our night took a different turn.  Sully was prancing around the patio barefoot (which is not unusual in our house) and landed on a patio light bulb that immediately crushed under his little foot cutting him quite deeply - there was a ton of blood.  We wrapped him his foot up with tea towels and then were off to emerg to get it stitched up.

5 hours later (WAY past bedtime), 2 x-rays later (to check for broken glass), 5 stitches were put in - we are very thankful for our healthcare system but wouldn't mind if we don't have to use it for many years to come!

our makeshift bandage - tea towels and a grocery bag

Sully was pumped that the bed went up and down

even without supper and it being HOURS past bedtime Sully was in good spirits

the "hole" as Sully called it

stitched up nicely

after 5 hours of sitting around this little guy was ready to go home
in the past year Sully has been glued together and stitched together - I think we are good now till he's at least 16!
