Daddy called the pediatrician who sent Joel & Ben to the Urgent Care Center. The doctor there said it was an "impressive" cut but not all the way to the bone. It was about half an inch long and he closed the gash with 6 staples.
Joel & Ben returned to Urgent Care Sunday evening to have the staples removed. Joel said he could have saved himself two hours and done the job with a pair of needle-nosed pliers at home.
I don't think so!
Sorry for the blurriness. Click on the picture to see the gash better.
6 staples and nearly 3 hours later, they ate supper at McDonald's. Joel "enjoyed" a burger while Ben feasted on ice cream.
Again, sorry for the blurriness. Click to see the staples.

What a week! Ben sure looks like he enjoyed the ice cream...and choc't milk!!! :) Thankful that Ben is doing well now and know that God protected him because it could have been so much worse...
Ouch! My son and my oldest DD that both had staples. (Probably at the same urgent care center!) Glad he's on the mend.
Yikes! Poor thing! He seems to have taken it like a champ!
OH MY! Poor Ben! That does not look like fun, but he does seem to have taken it all like a trooper. So glad the injuries were (relatively) minor. Ice cream does seem to make things better. : )
