Last Tuesday Jeremy took the kids sledding. Lincoln and I had just settled down for a nice afternoon nap and we got a call from Jeremy saying that Griffin had cut his head.Griffin tends to be fairly cautious and was starting half way down the hill (rather than from the top). After a handful of times down the hill, he fell off the sled and sliced his head (a few inches above his left ear) on a rock.
The other children stayed with our friends (who they were sledding with) and Jeremy, Lincoln, and I took Griffin to the InstaCare. Fortunately they were not busy and saw Griffin right away. Apparently, they typically staple head lacerations, but since his wound was large and deep they put 3 stitches underneath and 8 on top.
Griffin got to read with Jeremy from one of his new books while he waited (for the numbing solution to numb) and was tough and held very still while the doctor worked on him. Griffin is happy that the stitches will come out on Wednesday because he gets to show his stitches to his teacher and class today.

Glad to hear he's okay! I know it sure helps us to deter Chase from "dangerous" activities if we remind him he'll end up getting more staples or stitches... it's a great motivator! :))
Poor Griffin. I hope he recovers ok. That looks like it hurt. Who knew sledding could cause such damage. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
OUCH! That'll be a sledding trip he'll never forget... hope he heals quickly! :)
