On Saturday, I went out with my sister Julie. While I was gone, Matt and Joey went sledding at the park by our house. They were sledding with a couple other kids, and a neighbor mom, Marcia, was there watching. She was going to leave, but her son asked her to stay just a little longer to watch the sledding. I'm so grateful she stayed. Matt sledded down the hill and tried to go under the metal park bench. His head hit the back of the bench. Huge head wound. Marcia yelled for the younger kids to go get help while she held a snow hat to Matt's wound. Bryan was home, and he took Matt to the Instacare. Matt ended up with stitches both below the surface and on the surface. He is lucky to be alive. He took a Tylenol with Codeine that night, and a regular Tylenol the next morning...and that's it! He has felt no pain. I have him doing indoor recess this week. I am sure if he was outside with his friends, he would forget about the head issue and run around like a wild man. Poor kid.
A nice neighbor covered up the bloody snow at the park before I got a chance to do it. However, a few days later enough snow had melted so I could see the blood. It was everywhere. I am so grateful that Matt is okay. I am so grateful that Marcia was there to help. It could have been so much worse. I love my Matty!
Wow, isn't it lovely?
Sunday, before church, Matt, Joey and Kate put on their (Kate's) butterfly wings and "danced" around. Can I just say it is close to impossible for Matt to take it easy? We had to buzz his head, so his hair wouldn't get in the wound. The only problem is that the wound is SO obvious with a bald head. It caused quite a commotion at church.
Another entry in Matt's book of adventure!

I am so grateful Matt is ok, I love that kid so much.
The fairies of doom!
I'm grossed out and relieved at the same time. The fairy picture might just have to go in next years' calendar, although something tells me there will be more to come. Looks like Kate will be the voice of reason among your crew:)
Maybe he needs a leash?? Crazy Matt! Avery has a dead, black front tooth due to a sledding incident when we were there! Who knew it was such a dangerous activity! I can't believe nobody was hurt the day we all went....oh wait, Josh was knocked off his feet! I can't believe he didn't get hurt! Feel better Matt! He is always going to want a shaved head to show off his cool scar!
I can't believe that! I mean I can believe it knowing Matt, but I look at that cut and shake my head! He's a wild man! So glad it doesn't hurt and he's ok.
