The awards ceremony was, to say the least, very hard for me. Every milestone my children make/finish/cross is very emotional for me. He received an award for A/B honor roll. Would have been all A honor roll, except he took the 9th grade Pre AP Algebra class his 8th grade year and made a steady B the whole year. All A's in my book! Here's a pic with his award.
I shed more than a few tears. The slide show was awesome, the music did me in. He wanted to celebrate with a Starbucks Frap and a croissant. We went home and chilled for awhile. He went to his friend's annual end of school swimming party at 2:30, called me at 3:30 with the words no mom ever wants to hear, "Mom, I think I need to go to the hospital". Oh boy, okay. Here's what I saw when I picked him up.
Yes, I think we need to go get a few stitches. We went to our favorite ER, and got him all fixed up!
Doctor said laceration was to the bone. Hard area on foot to heal. Used the largest sutures available, will need to stay in for 14 days. How did he do this? In the pool, caught his toe on an inlet. Now we have another "battle wound" to add to his long list. It's been 4 years since he required stitches, so I guess he was due!
All fixed up and ready to go. The doctor who treated him was the same doctor who did his first stitches at 16 months old. He didn't have to use a straight jacket this time though!
Two weeks of no swimming, no activity, and wearing the boot. What a way to start the summer! There's never a dull moment in the life of a Mother raising boys!
