~A couple weeks ago, we had just gotten home from a trip to town, and were busily unloading the car. Matthew had just taken some things inside, and was coming back out to the garage, when he decided to jump over the step landing, over Mommy's big bag, and through the work shop door. Well, he was taller than he thought, and Mommy's bag was bigger than it looked, and as he took a flying leap, he hit his head full force on the top, sharp corner of the doorpost. We were all in the garage, and Caleb & I had just walked in the workshop to find Matthew bend over with blood dripping from a gash his head! Well, to make a long story short, Daddy got home shortly after that, and once he looked at it, he thought it could probably use a few stitches. So Mommy and Daddy took Matthew to Daddy's office and Daddy stitched him up with 11 stitches. Ouch!! Matthew was so amazing, and said everything was justt fine - but that the worst part of the experience was getting the lidocaine injection. Matthew healed up very well, and the recovery went very smoothly - Praise the Lord!
Here are now a couple pictures of the gash; it was 2 inches long, and about 1/8th of an inch deep. It was actually much worse than we originally thought.

Oh wow I'm so glad you posted pictures Ashley!! I could hardly believe it when you said that Matthew got, what 11 stitches? But the pictures do make it look like every single stitch was warranted...! Ouch!!! What a scary thing to happen; I'm so happy Math is feeling better, Praise the Lord it wasn't worse! Math is a Mighty Man indeed! The pics are amazing - tell Math I'm looking forward to seeing his eleven stitches soon (if they're still there!!) =D
