Mark took Elijah and Anton on a little 4-wheeler ride while Amelia and I enjoyed some time together making terrariums. We were surprised when we saw Mark drive up with Elijah covered in blood! While on their way back to the house Mark hit a bump and Elijah hit his head on the front of the 4-wheeler, cutting open his head. Mark brought him to the doctor to make sure it didn't need stitches and thankfully it didn't. We did that last month, it fact I think that was in my last post. :) Anyway, the doctor just glued the wound shut. The bad part was that Elijah's eye got glued shut in the process! When he blinked some of the glue got on his eyelash and then on the skin around his eye. Mark said he did great until the doctor had to try to pull his eye open. At this point his eye is still glued shut at least half-way so we're hoping if we keep it moist he will be able to open it soon. (sigh) :)
Glued back together again.
Elijah was pretty sad when he got home. We tried to get him to keep something moist on his eye to make it feel better. He refused everything, except the Mt. Dew, I guess that makes everything better. :)
