Well, Will made it 8 years and 11 months before having to have stitches! We went out to the lake to swim and meet the new coaches and their families. Will was going up the stairs on the Moore's dock and there was a small piece of sheet metal sticking out. Out of the hundreds of trips kids and adults have made up those stairs, of course it's Will that's going to be the one that cuts himself!
When he cut his arm he climbed back down the stairs, jumped in the lake, and swam to our dock. One of the coach's wives saw him climbing out of the water and saw all the blood and called for me to come down. Luckily our doctor was at the party, too. He wrapped it up and we headed straight back into town to his office. I left Thomas at the lake with friends and they brought him home later. Sam missed all of the excitement because he was at home recovering from eye surgery!
It was a pretty deep cut but Cloy was able to sew it right up. Will was really brave, he flinched when he got the numbing shot, but was fine after that!
I tried to get a smile out of him, but it wasn't easy! He's a trooper, that sf or sure!
