The hits just keep on comin'

So,  just sat down and relax after taking a big adventure out to WalMart.   I receive a panic phone call from Mindy that she needs help.   It's Gage and he's hurt.

Stan and I jump in the car, well as much as I can jump, and drive as fast as possible to get to Jeff and Mindy's house.   Jeff and Jaxson were gone, at a baseball game.    We get there and Gage has fallen and cut his head open.    Can I tell you how much head wounds bleed.    Stan carries Gage to the car where I tag along on my scooter and Mindy with her crutches.     Urgent care is closed.....we go on to the Emergency Room.    The look we got when we walked, or should I say lumbered in.    Mindy on her crutches, me on my scooter and Gage covered in blood.    One lady even looked at us and said, "Not your week huh"

Well, we got in pretty quick and were taken back to a room.   Gage was more worried about all the blood all over himself.     Stan had to rush home because in our rush to get out of the house, I left a big pot of eggs boiling on the stove.

Once we get in the room the doctor came in and started stitching him up.    Can I tell you how brave Gage was.    He never even cried.   He was such a  big guy.    5 total stitches.  1 on the inside and 4 on the outside.

Once we were ready to check out here comes Papa.   He took us all to Sonic so Gage could get a big treat for being so brave.

In the mean time, poor Jeff calls and is quite worried.    They were in the middle of playing a ballgame and he didn't check his phone until the game was over.    He showed up just after we got home.    Whew......what a night.  Things happen in threes, so I think the Horns are done!
