Ned's Head

Poor Ned. One minute he was having fun with his cousin Marcus and the next, he is dripping in blood with a deep gash to the forehead. In steps Aunty Ellie, trained ER nurse to the rescue, who stops the bleeding and off we go to the hospital where he gets a nice bit of glue to the head and the hole disappears! He was actually really good about it. The cut itself hurt him the most, you could see the pain in his face, but then when the blood started to pour out he freaked, as did I! But by the time we got to the hospital, he was his normal self and was laughing as his cousin entertained him. He had me and my sister in stitches as he lay on the bed shouting "doctor, doctor, come back doctor" after the doctor initially assessed everything. He was even good while they wrapped him up in a sheet so tight that he couldn't move his arms and laughed as they called him Burrito Boy! Such a star my boy!
