Battle Wounds

Mikey loves to be where the action is. On Sunday Neil was up playing with the boys in the bedroom while I was doing the dishes. Neil had taken the mattress off Conner's bed and turned the bed into a train table. All Mikey wanted to do was destroy it all. Neil used his body to keep him at bay but Mikey finally had had enough and began to crawl over Neil and lost his balance and fell and hit his head on the corner of the bed. I hear Neil frantically calling me and Mikey screaming. He comes racing down the stairs with Mikey who has a huge gash right next to left eye and it is totally swelling up. Neil wonders if we should take him to the emergency room. I make an ice pack and put that on the swelling while Mikey is still screaming. I then get a dum dum sucker and Mikey takes it and is almost better. Neil cuddled him a little bit longer and then he was back playing and climbing all over again. This picture is 3 days after the accident. Mikey just had a rough week because he also had a firecracker bum bum. I knew I shouldn't have given him that oj.
