Scarface

Cade tripped at school and landed on his face on the sidewalk (apparently he doesn't know how to catch his fall with his hands). His sunglasses split open his eye right below the eyebrow and gave him a nice bruise below his eye too. The doctor at Urgent Care tried to put stitches in twice but Cade was fighting too much so he sent us to the ER so he could be sedated. After lots of waiting, the medicine made Cade a little loopy but not at all drowsy like they were hoping. It took three nurses and Richard to hold him down while the doctor was finally able to give him 6 stitches. The whole ordeal took five hours!! If you remember and can see in the picture, he had stitches a couple years ago from wrecking on his bicycle and his sunglasses splitting the same eyebrow. That scar is smaller, toward the bridge of his nose. We keep telling him that girls like scars!
