At Least They Didn’t Amputate

My son was seen at the local urgent care today for a minor foot injury — he was wading in the lake behind our house and stepped on something. He had to get a wound cleaned out and a tetanus shot, nothing huge.

He was nervous as he waited to be seen, and asked if I would blog about this when we got home. I agreed, and snapped pictures with my BlackBerry for him.

So, without further ado, here is how My son’s visit unfolded. (Mom thanks you for your indulgence.)

“Yes, your foot is still attached.”

At lunch, a rare moment of sibling support caught on camera:

Truly, the shot and procedure had to just suck eggs, but he was really brave about everything and I was really proud of him. Now, I think it’s time to get him his own blog.
