Stitched Up

Yesterday Ethan's head took on the trampoline and the trampoline won. The 1-inch gash took out most of his eyebrow so I requested a plastic surgeon in the hopes that Ethan would recover with 2 eyebrows instead of one. Ethan did great through the procedure and we were done in record time. However, Ethan had a hard time recovering from the medication. Two hours later he was breathing without oxygen and we were on our way home. Our first son with stitches and Randy missed it all. (He was jogging along the East China Sea oblivious to his frantic wife calling every five minutes from the other side of the world.) After the surgeon finished up, he informed me he wasn't carried by Tri-Care. He did the surgery for free and thanked us for serving in the military. What a great guy! Maybe someday we'll return to Utah and Randy can return the favor by giving him a free root canal.
