Surgeries and Injuries (Warning Blood and Stitches)

This summer and the beginning of the school year we had several significant wounds in the family.  Just know my side of the family are all weirdos who like to take pictures of injuries and ER visits and such.

 Tim had a dark spot removed from his upper lip, just to be safe. The biopsy came back fine. We are still getting use to his face without it.

Laney got her foot caught in the door.  The metal cut her toe open.  When I got to her this is what I found.  Poor girl.  I could tell it wasn't a normal hurt cry, that it was something unusual. She was a brave patient for Dr. Mom.

Nate had a dark mole on the bottom of his foot. The doctor removed it and sent it off to the lab. This is the resulting hole in his foot.

The lab report came back that it was pre-cancer so they had to go back and remove more, with stitches this time.  We love our medical pictures.

The biopsy always heals just in time to be cut open again, it is such a bummer. This was done on the second day of school. Because it was on the bottom of his foot and the stitches couldn't have any pressure without risk of tearing, Nate had to use crutches for almost 3 weeks until it healed enough to walk and not split open. He was such a good sport about it and just tried to enjoy the extra time hanging out with Mom when the other kids were out playing around.
