Poor Eli! This boy has more accidents involving his head than all the rest of our kids combined. This one was the worst yet. We were getting ready to say prayers Sunday night and he was running to Andrew's bed. He tripped and fell right into the metal bed frame on the bunk beds. I saw it happen and knew it was going to be really bad. Thank heavens Jeremy was there to help. He can remain calm in scary situations. He got Eli cleaned up and pressure on his face. I couldn't handle looking at that huge gash under his eye. It was awful!
So, 4 hours in the ER and 8 stitches later, Eli came home. He was really brave. They had to wrap him up in a blanket and hold him down. They were really nervous because it was so close to his eye. He never cried or screamed. He just would stiffen up and say "Oh, that one hurt". He was very fortunate that his eye was not damaged at all. Very lucky! His face is really swollen and sore, but he is being a trooper! He is still running around, making us laugh. The hardest part is keeping him off the trampoline and from getting to active. We love this little guy and are so thankful he is okay. He'll just have a few more scars to add to his collection :)
