Too Close For Comfort

W was enjoying his freedom on the farmhouse driveway and ran smack into an open car door.This is nothing unusual for Big O, but this was W's first head injury. Screaming, crying, blood from forehead cut and a side cut near his temple, a HUGE bump on his forehead, instant bruising, and a cut fat lip all equal trauma.
Ice pack STAT! Ibuprofen STAT!
Thank goodness we had two doctors on hand to look at him. My brother-n-law's father checked him out and determined he didn't need stitches. Phew! My sister took the picture to document as a favor. Ha-ha. Two years earlier I documented Wazzah's head wound, which did need stitches, but since her dad's a doctor he performed at home surgery with a turkey baster and medical glue.
This was a couple days later. His head was very sensitive and the bruise went well into his hairline.
Looking better!
