Trip to the ER

I guess it will be inevitable having two boys (or just having kids in general) that we would make a trip to the ER eventually.....so in less than 2 years of life Dylan was the first of the boys to go to the ER for stitches.

At the end of July, when I found out that I got the full time Instructor job at UH (which includes a LONG commute a few days a week), we decided that we would replace Mark's CRV with a fuel efficient car and he would drive the X Terra.  We spent two weekends car shopping (long days, with 2 kids....not fun!).  On Sunday of the 2nd weekend, we finally decided on a VW Jetta and were in the showroom getting ready to sign the final papers when Dylan fell, hit his head on a chair, and split his forehead open.

So, instead of leaving with a new car, we rushed off to the ER and told the dealership we would be back another day to buy the car.  

The guy in the ER who "glued" Dylan's forehead thought using gauze to help wipe up blood (that had super glue on it) was a smart idea.  The results?  Dylan had a piece of bloody gauze glued to his forehead for 2 weeks.  I took this picture because we thought about sending a "thank you " note to the ER for their great work :)

And here is the finished product (2 weeks later...a scar on his forehead that I hope fades over time :)

We did, by the way, go back and finish purchasing the car. The dealership called us several times to check on Dylan (probably hoping we weren't planning on taking legal action), but the gesture was nice.
