Emergency

Well, we made our first trip to the emergency room on Oct 6th. Luke was with Alyssa at Lapham Peak State Park. He was in an area that just had some brush cut when he tripped and fell down. When he got up he had a large cut... or more fitting... a large gash under his eye. The brush that had been cut poked his face because it was like 4 -5 inch sticks, that stuck out of the ground.

Urgent care doesn't deal with facial wounds that might need stitches so we went to the ER. The bleeding had stopped long before but at the ER Luke had his face "glued" together instead of getting stitches.

We are VERY thankful that his eye wasn't hurt. We know his face will heal. Today his face looks even more puffy and swollen than when these pictures were taken. Both Alyssa and I feel sorry for Luke, but he is in good spirits. He is still running around and laughing just like nothing happened.
