Guess who has stitches?

You guessed it! Josh. We arrived back in town after evacuting to Dallas for the week following Hurricane Ike. Michael decided to take the boys to the park to give mom a break from the boys. Next thing you know I got a call from Michael to have bandaids and washclothes ready becasue Josh had hurt his chin bad. When they arrived home I was waiting outside the house for him to arrive. When we got him in the house and I washed away the blood, his chin had been split open. I knew this was not something that batman bandaids could cure. So we rushed him to the emergency room and 3 hours and 4 stitches later, voila! He is very proud of his stitches and did not cry once at the hospital. In fact, at one point he was yelling for the doctor, "Where's the doctor? I want my stitches!" When the doctors and Nurses told him he was brave, he replied "yep". They were all in disbelief with his pain tolerance. They said they were doing things to him that adults can't even take. Of course, this makes Josh's chest puff out more. He was very proud to show the receptionist his stitches on his way out. What's next for this child?

The doctor removed Josh's badge of honor today. The doctor said that it is healing beautifully. Just in time for the October wedding.
