The Accident

So Thursday night, Henry rushed into the Music room, which was dark at the time. Meg was right there with him, and saw him trip in the middle of the area rug and smack his face on the bottom of the window seat moulding. Meg picked him up and took him into the kitchen, thinking Henry was in for one heck of a goose egg on his forehead. When Henry took his hand away from his head, there was blood all over and Henry had a boxer's split under his eyebrow. "I think he needs stitches," said Meg, as Marc rushed over with frozen food to stop the swelling. "God Damn-it!" said Marc, "let's go." By the time we got to the hospital, just a few minutes away, the bleeding had mostly stopped. The doctor at the ER used a super glue to hold the edges together. Meg is getting dizzy and nauseous just thinking about it. The next morning, Henry said the worst part was when they took off his shoes and used a pinchy thing to get his pulse. Friday, Meg and Henry went to the Eagle River Children's museum and out to lunch in celebration of Henry's bravery.
