1st Urgent Trip to Urgent Care

Today our sweet boy introduced us to the world of Dermabond. As we cleaned up from church, the children ran around squealing and enjoying stroller rides from Ms. Jen. As I swept, I heard a loud thud and then I heard the crying. I knew it was Ryan. I ran to him and scooped him up. Instantly I knew we were heading to Urgent Care, as he had run into the corner of a metal doorway and I could tell that the wound was deep. Though it was emotionally painful to see Ry in such pain, it was a huge blessing that this happened at church. EVERYONE was so caring and concerned and calm and helpful. It helped me not to cry and make it worse for Ry. Thankfully, a pediatric urgent care is less than half a mile away at our Harris Teeter shopping center. After a quick evaluation, the two sides of our boy's skin were glued back together. Since the wound was deep and not wide, he did not need stitches. Though we will avoid the pool and wrestling this week, all is well. Matt is a little concerned that this is going to hugely affect Ryan's modeling career, but the doctor told us not to worry, the scar should be minimal. :)

Thank you friends for caring for our sweet boy today and being a great encouragement to our family. And thank you Jen for picking Madeline up and holding her on your lap. . .she REALLY needed it! We love you all and are so grateful for our Bridge family.
