Labor Day Weekend Fun?

Yes, there's a question mark at the end of my post title. Reason being, we spent part of our Labor Day weekend in the ER. Yep! Josh had a knee boarding accident at the lake and required stitches. We went to lake with our friends Cyndi and JJ, and were having a great time grilling out, taking a ride in their boat, water skiing and knee boarding, until someone got hurt. :) Josh was doing great on the knee board, when all of a sudden, he bit it for some reason and after he hit the water, the knee board flew back and hit him in the face. Ouchhhhhhh! He wasn't knocked out thankfully, but there sure was A LOT of blood coming from his nose and mouth. The lifeguard in me reacted quickly and jumped in the water to rescue my sweet husband. :) He was worried that all of his teeth were knocked out, but again, thankfully, they were all in place. He had several gashes in his mouth, on his lip and one on the outside of his cheek. After evaluating the situation, we quickly returned to shore and headed to the ER. Thankfully, again, Mimi and Poppa were already watching Camryn, so we didn't have to worry about her. Once we got to the ER, we were in and out in about an hour. Crazy, I know, it must have been a slow day, or poor Josh, must have looked really pathetic. So, two stitches in his upper lip and two in his cheek and we were sent on our way. So, the rest of the weekend, Camryn and I took care of Josh. It killed him to chew, smile or laugh, so he ate lots of soup, didn't look at Camryn and watched lots of action movies. :) He is beginning to feel better, slowly but surely, and can't wait to smile at his little girl again. :)

Poor Josh
