OUCH!!

One day we were all riding our bikes down to the library when all of a sudden Ty decides to do a quick pop-a-wheelie when CRASH he fell off his bike and smacked his face on the sidewalk. Blood was pouring everywhere. One look and I knew we would not be going to the library for our fieldtrip but we were headed to the ER instead! I'm surprised in a such a traumatic experience I could stay so calm and not freak out and lose it! We quickly walked our bikes back to Mimi's house, luckily we weren't to far away. Mimi watched the kids and I drove Ty to the ER. There is nothing worse than watching your child suffer and go through so much pain and not be able to do anything but hold his hand. It was so sad! I felt so bad for Ty. He was a trooper and very brave. They had to stitch up his lip on the inside. I think he had 4 stitches on his upper lip. Then they super-glued the outside top lip. He had a mighty bad road-rash on his nose and chin.

 The swelling was so awful. I was really worried it would stay like this and he would have permanent damage. 

 

So, so sad! This broke my heart. I felt so helpless not being able to help Ty. All I could so was hold his hand and try to comfort him. 

Poor kid! This was a couple days after the accident. He still had a lot of swelling. After a week or so the swelling went down. His road rash went away and really it is almost 100% back to normal! He has a little bit of scar on his top lip but it isn't to bad! 

Ty's sweet Auntie Chel came to visit and brought little Lincoln. That helped cheer up Ty! Ty loved seeing Link and here they are with their robot they made together out of blocks!
