Our trip to the ER

So I am thankful to say this marks Ben's first emergency room visit! By the grace of God this is Ben's first 'real' injury! He was playing hide and seek in forrest with his dad and friends when he tripped over a log. A large piece of the log ended up in his shin. So this is a pic of just the end stinking out but it goes up inside the shin quite a ways. We tugged on it ourselves or I should say Brandon tugged? I was tugging more with my mind :) And when he says, "I think we need to take him to the doctor" I know it's bad lol. So off we went for a nice 5 hour stay. I think Ben said it best after waiting, "there is nothing 'emergency' about this. This will start sprouting in my leg by the time a doctor comes!" But a doctor did come and got him all numb and had to seriously yank that thing out! He was brave and we are just so thankful that this is all we've had to encounter with injuries!
