Sean's new scar

Do you know those cartoon strips where someone runs off of a cliff, and their legs keep running before they plummet?
Sean did this off of the stairs on our deck last week, and landed head-first on the little stone pathway below. This earned him a wonderful goose-egg on his forehead that burst open in the middle from the impact (Platzwunde). Sean screamed for a minute or so, then calmed down. Ben brought him inside to clean the blood off of his face and to clean out the wound. Our first-aid kit no longer hand steri-strips in it, so I ran across the street to our neighbor's house - she is a prison nurse. Not only did she have steri strips, but she offered to patch up Sean's owie for us! (She commented that Sean is a lot less hairy than her usual patients, but that he was equally tough). Sean did really well while he was being patched up, only whispering the occasional "Ow!!!" Several steri-strips and a band-aid later, Sean felt fine.

It's a good thing that chicks dig scars!

Of course Sean peeled off the band-aid and strips once he was in bed... *sigh* but the owie is less than a centimeter long, and is healing well on its own now.
