Trauma at the Bowling Alley

We are in Atlanta for the yearly in-law visit and have already made our traditional visit to the Urgent Care. It seems like every year we come we end up there with someone for some sort of ailment. The last few times it was Britney and Grace, but this time it was Jack for a dual purpose visit, smashed pinky and cold nasty coughy stuff.

It started at the Bowling Alley yesterday when Jack was excited to roll his ball down the lane. He grabbed the 8 pounder, tripped and managed to fall and allow the ball to smash his pinky against the floor. Blood, tears, more blood, Dad freaking out, then Lucas picks up his ball mid-chaos and does the EXACT SAME THING, minus the blood and massive bruising. Lucas shook it off, but Jack was a mess and we ended up heading home to treat him. So to make a long story short, Jack didn't sleep all night, hacked and coughed from a previous cold, cried "it hurts, it hurts" and so we were off the Doc-in-a-box this morning. The diagnosis....No broken bones, but we should have brought him in yesterday for stitches (Britney feels like a bad parent). Double ear infection and massive cold. Sighh... I hope the next post is not about illness and hurting.
