The whole family was out in the yard after dinner tonight having some fun playing wiffle ball. Papa was teaching Mama how to throw a curve ball when it happened.

Standing at the edge of the rock wall was Declan having some fun playing with his toys. A moment later the rock slipped off the wall and a second later Declan followed. He tumbled forward, fell with his head first and hit his forehead on the rock. His legs went straight up in the air and then fell over him. Papa jumped down off the wall and Mama and Aidan ran over too.

A second later Papa had Declan up and looking at him to see if he was hurt. A whole bunch of blood began to come out from a small but deep cut on his forehead above his left eye. He also had a cut on his left eyebrow. Mama was really calm and Papa was the one going a little berserk. Mama brought a couple of wet cloths to help slow the bleeding. Aidan went into the hallway closet to find some band-aids.

Mama had the smart idea of going to the infirmary here on campus to get the opinion of the campus nurse. Declan was still a bit distraught by this time but was starting to calm down and not cry so much. His would was cleaned up and the nurse said we should take him down to the hospital to maybe get some stitches.

A couple of hours of waiting room time later we were in the emergency room seeing the doctor. Declan was not very happy to have his wound cleaned and even more unhappy when the doctor put the <a href="http://www.dermabond.com" target="NewWindow">Dermabond</a> on his forehead. A couple of minutes later it was all over. The assistant made Declan a little balloon with a face on it and he cheered up immediately.

A few minutes later we were on our way home for the night. Another emergency under the families belt.
