Bad news, last night he broke the "streak." Yep, that's his right index finger in the picture below sporting 2 stitches. He fought a ravioli can and lost. Ouch! His left arm was the not-too-willing recipient of a tetanus shot, so between the two he was a hurting unit yesterday, and was scheduled to play his first baseball game today.
Things I'm thankful for in this situation--a husband who is willing to go to the emergency room and stay with our child while he is getting patched up. I cannot handle being in the room with them when they're in such extreme pain, even though I know they need to be put through the pain for their own good. I'm thankful that Peter was in very little pain today, and was able to successfully perform in the games he played this morning. He was proud of himself (and it doesn't hurt that his team won)! I'm also thankful for expert care from competent physician and staff at our local hospital.

Ouch ouch ouch! At least (if you're not left handed) that's the finger that sticks out of the glove and not in it! Man, cooking is dangerous...
Sometimes those shots hurt worse than the stitches!
