BIG owie

So, I promised another "exciting" story from vacation. Thursday night when we were cooking dinner at our condo, Brooks had a accident. He had not napped that day and was tired and acting goofy. He was spinning/running around the living area when he ran into the corner of the coffee table. He immediately started crying and Ryan went over to check him out, when he lifted his hand off Brooks' head there was a huge amount of blood and a big cut in the middle of his forehead. We knew we had to take him somewhere to have it looked at because it looked like it needed stitches.

Fortunately Shaun and Carissa were thinking and found a urgent care center for us to go to. We rushed Brooks out to the car and headed out. Brooks fell asleep on the way there and we got right into the urgent care center. A really nice (and excellent with Brooks) physician's assistant saw him. She felt we could take of the gash with some steri strips and "superglue". Brooks was an excellent patient. He didn't cry at all and laid very still for everything. He liked playing peek-a-boo with us when the glue was put on (so it didn't get into his eyes). He fell asleep again on the way home and has been fine ever since.
