OUCH!

I'm just so glad that Landon is almost 18 years old and we haven't spent hardly any time in the emergency room.  ~knock on wood~

Eldon and I had been out running errands.  Landon was out mowing the lawn and had stopped to move the trampoline when he thought he'd try to turn over the Berry Bug engine.  It didn't start up with the key, so he just got the crank out to help it get turned over.  Here's what happened next....

The engine turned over after the crank hit his head. He felt the hit, obviously, but didn't realize he was bleeding until the bleeding began to run down his face.  Because we weren't home and because he didn't want to get the house filled with blood, he ran over to the neighbor next door.  Our neighbor gave him a rag to help stop the bleeding and made sure he knew he better get to the hospital to get stitches.  After getting ahold of us, we had him drive himself to the hospital where would meet up with him.  8 stitches later....

 Needless to say, he was given a tetanus shot - just to make sure.

Dad was able to take out the stitches....looks like it's healing just great.  Thankfully we haven't had to do this often!
