The first incident involved a baseball bat to the face swung by our nine year old neighbor.
His teeth went through his face in 3 separate places. He came in covered in blood.
At urgent care they wanted us to go to the hospital to have him admitted so he could be put under
to be stitched up. Daddy did not think that was necessary and with the help of an experienced ER doctor talked him through the procedure as they sewed up his face while he was completely awake. What a trooper!
Everyone has told him how manly it is to have a scar. Several people gave the unsolicited advice, "chicks dig scars."
I have to admit it hurt my heart a bit to see my precious baby's face no longer perfect.
But I know that is pride, and this is now part of him and who he is.
