The kids were playing outside last Sunday - the usual plan here on Sundays - kids outside, grownups watching football and yelling at the TV. But, things changed and the yelling was coming from outside.
Maddie: "Liam fell off his bike and his skin is missing off his face! He needs your help!"
Liam comes in yelling and crying. Turns out, he took a sharp turn and the handlebars didn't quite do what he expected. He didn't have a whole lot of marks on his hands, so it didn't seem like he tried to break the fall with anything but his cheekbone. We discussed the fact that his helmet probably would have protected his face a bit more, but it can't do much from the floor in the garage.
Here's how it looked Wednesday, the 19th. A bit better, although we did have to have the talk about NOT picking off the scab. This was also school picture day. :( The photographers offered an "airbrush" option for the pictures. (Intended for children with acne, but I thought it was a great idea!) John insisted we leave the picture as-is to forever remember him at that moment.
Here's how it looks today. Much better. Lots of high-doses of Vitamin E oil on his face. It's almost healed. Our Liam is back to his beautiful self.
