Mr Daredevil

September 21, 2012

After Jarom's track meet yesterday I actually looked forward to a nice relaxing evening with no obligations or places where any of our family members had to be at (our Thursday late evenings are our only evenings right now that are free of commitments and activities.)  Dinner was simmering in the crock pot all day, it was just a matter of Matt getting home so we could all sit down to a nice dinner together.  Surprise, surprise...it didn't exactly end up the way I was anticipating.  Our little Daredevil got a little carried away going off a jump/ramp on his bike and we ended up in the ER instead.  After his crash, so typical of Josh- he jumps up and says, "I'm okay."  Well not exactly Josh...

Josh waiting in the waiting room to be called to a room, (with a bit of numbing medicine doing it's job on his chin.)  Ellie, Josh and I drove to Auburn Reg Med Ctr around 6:00pm and Matt showed up to join us around 7:00pm when he was able to make his way over after work.

 Then it was time to access the damage.

 This is one tough kid, didn't make a peep or move an inch during his operation, he was so brave and held so still for the doctors!  A Popsicle for his reward.

And there we have it, FIVE stitches for our FIVE year old, just in time for family pictures this weekend- so typical right?  Well it could have been a lot worse, at least we're all back together for now.
This one has given us more battle wounds, bumps and bruises than all of them combine, not too much stops him- he really needs to take it easy though...
