Back In The ER With Ethan

Ethan has proven to be our most accident prone and daring child. Two characteristics that do not go very well together. Ethan generally has a bruise of some kind, a black eye, or a small wound on his head due to his clumsy and fun-loving adventurous personality. A lot of times, there are multiple bruises all in different stages of the healing process. Well, today was another shining day for Ethan! While trying to climb the stair rail outside our front porch, Ethan lost his grip and fell, landing on our front step. There was a pretty deep laceration right above his eyebrow.
Ethan is waiting patiently for the topical anesthesia to set in.

Five stitches later, and Ethan was ready to get right back to playing again! He really did a fantastic job through his treatment. The doctor opted to just use local and topical anesthetic. Ethan sat quietly the whole time and didn't move an inch. The nurse and the doctor were amazed that he was so cooperative -- Chris and I were pretty impressed too!


We love our little Ethan. He certainly keeps us on our toes! In just two and a half short years, we have already had quite an adventure with Ethan, and we are sure there will be many more!
