Except this time he punctured his neck (below the jaw where the you-know-what-vein is located) with the handle bar of the bike (the grip is ripped off of part of it) and came screaming holding his neck with blood coming out between his fingers...
So I guess you know what I was thinking... the WORST...
I grabbed a facecloth with one hand to apply pressure and dialed the phone with the other and didn't even look at the wound till we were in the ER with the doctor! Yes I was scared of what I would see...
Thanks to the Lord and His miracles, he missed all the major blood supply and is resting comfortably with some fancy blue stitches... he was so brave!
I gotta tell you tho... I could see his pulse pumping inside that hole and it kinda freaked me out!!!
Unfortunately because of it being such a blunt end there was a lot of skin that was too damaged to repair and had to be cut off so he'll have a bit of a scar... but they were able to close the surface skin a bit with stitches too...
The photo is from my phone so you can't really see much, but here he is once they got him all cleaned up and ready for stitches...
I'll add some more pics once we get the super-sticky-old-school band aid removed!
I gotta keep this kid on the Motocross track where it's safe!
