More Battle Wounds

So, today I get a phone call from Marshall's teacher saying that he had an accident on the playground, and of course my mind can only think of the worst possible thing. She proceeded to explain that he was scooting around and one of his friends ran over him and he fell forward and hit his head on the playground. She explained that it was a cut right on his eyebrow and that he might have to have stitches. Mark was home for lunch, so we both went over to the school to pick him up. Ms. McClain was in the nurses office with him and was snuggling with him and as soon as he saw us he started crying. They had a bandage over his left eye, but I could see the asphalt burn under his eye and on his cheek. Mark went ahead and took him to the ER and I got his wheelchair and his bag from his classroom. We waited forever in the ER, as usual and finally got back into a room where they decided to glue his eyebrow, instead of stitches, thank goodness and opted not to do a CT scan since he had not thrown up at all. He of course did not like the glue, but the doctor did say that it does sting a little bit. He was really tired on the drive home and went straight to sleep as soon as I laid him down. The fun times in the life of the Bailey family!!
