Another day, Another trip to the E.R.

Yes, we made ANOTHER trip to Bonner General Hospital last night... You guessed it... RYDER, AGAIN.

We were out working in the garden last night and sent Ryder into the barn to turn on the water. He went running towards the barn, only to trip at the entrance, slicing both his shins wide open. Brice ran into the barn to see what happened and found Ryder on the ground, blood gushing from his shins. Brice screamed to me in the garden, "We have to take Ryder to the hospital!" I came running, turnicated Ryder's leg with a T-shirt, and we were off to the E.R. once again.

The E.R. was busy, but got Ryder in pretty quick. He received a local anesthetic from a rather large needle, and barely flinched. Landin was in the corner in awe of the needle and the fact that Ryder wasn't screaming and crying. "He's a lot tougher than I am I think," Landin said. Yep - He sure is. Even the Doctor was impressed by Ryder's incredible pain tolerance.

The gaping hole on Ryder's shin required several stitches, while the other cuts were cleaned up and bandaged without fanfare. Ryder didn't cry even once at the hospital. It's a good thing he's such a tough guy... I have a feeling this won't be our last trip to the E.R. for stitches!
