Watch Out For Doors

 Those lift gates can come out of nowhere!

This is what happens when you are in a hurry to get out the door and have a million places to be in one day!

Daddy had left early to go to a golf tournament and Jordan had to be at a birthday party at 10 am in Chapel Hill,  Cooper had a baseball game at noon in Hillsborough, and Braedyn had a birthday party too to go to at 2:00 in Hillsborough.Talk about a busy day. I had everything ready to go and everyone was in the car. I told Braedyn to go in and change his shoes to tennis shoes instead of crocs. I shut the tailgate with the automatic button as he was coming out of the house and he ran around the corner without looking and ran right into the side of the tailgate. He cut his head open and blood was running down his face all over the place as he came running into the house saying I don't want to die. and as you can imagine everyone was really calm about it. I was able to get the bleeding stopped and we left it open and drove to the birthday party. Luckily living in Chapel Hill and Durham area usually someone in the medical field will be at the birthday party and there was a surgeon there. He said there was no need to go to the emergency room so I ran to CVS and got butterfly strips and we sterilized it and put bandages on it...although the butterfly strips did not stay put I eventually just got wound closure strips pushed the skin together and placed those because I know those would work. I have had those after surgery. They stayed put for a week and after a week it was healed nicely with minimal scarring...mom did good on this case....

Later that day he asked me am I going to forget stuff and I said what do you mean? He was worried he suffered a concussion and he was going to have some long term effect...I assured him that's not the case. I forget stuff all the time and I have not suffered any concussions!
