Easter at the Urgent Care

None of us really wanted to spend Easter morning at the Urgent Care.  But today our 11 year, 7 month, 9 day no-stitches-streak came to an end with Brigham lying on the examining table getting three stitches in a deep puncture wound in his forehead.
The injury was a result of some fairly normal sibling squabbling that ended badly.  The instigator was nearly as traumatized as the victim-- when the multi-tool was thrown, it was thrown out of frustration, and not with the intent to inflict grave bodily harm on his brother.
But, all's well that ends well.  Brigham was a rock-star at the doctors office, and didn't make a peep during the whole thing.
The rest of our Easter was wonderful, with lots of food, an Easter egg hunt, and a nice devotional with with friends.
I took some video of the Easter festivities, but the only pictures I took today were of my poor boy at the Urgent Care.  He was so brave.
Here's hoping we don't see the inside of another Urgent Care center for a long, long time!

I don't think anyone likes going to the doctor when it's a holiday. But as you said, all's well that ends well. I'm actually amazed that Brigham could still ham it up for the camera despite his injuries. Rock star indeed! -Javier @ US HealthWorks

One of the craziest things is you will always remember that Easter. We had a similar thing happen on Christmas, and got to spend the entire day in a hospital emergency room. One thing I realized is that there are some pretty amazing people in this world taking time away from their own families to be in that hospital to care for others.
