Fast forward to today: I had plans, good plans, fun plans. Today is my friend's, Brie, birthday. I was going to get her some delicious, non-homemade lunch and take it to her at school. It was a surprise...good thing. I had my usual Wednesday-no-workout-day and hopped in the shower. I got dressed and blew my hair dry when the phone rang. It was Hunter's lifetime sports teacher. Not good. She explained Hunter had dropped a weight on his finger & it didn't look good. So, I zipped over to the school and we went to the nurse's office. Due to it's stitch worthiness, we drove to our doctor's office.
How was Hunter during this time? He went into hyena shock. That's right...giggling like a little school girl the whole time. He was SO thrilled to possibly need stitches. He smiled at he prison guy we saw in the lobby, giggled at the check-in lady, practically raced to converse with a woman we know. It (it being my crazed maniac of a son) definitely needed stitches, but due to the fact it was a 30 lb weight, it needed to be x-rayed. I took special Hunter to the x-ray area where he laughed and grinned and jumped around, practically shouting "look at me, look at me". In the end: 4 stitches, one chipped bone, a possible trip to a hand specialist. Don't say it...don't put it out into the Universe. Don't...Ever...Not Once...Knock on wood. Exasperating wood!

that looks nasty and in the words of bostyn, "ooooh that hurts, that hurts real bad" He should've been more sad and got some lute out of the deal!
And you were there taking pictures of it all... ;)
Emily,
You totally caught me. I hoped no one would notice that,and I had a little bit of guilt over the fact the first thing I thought to do was grab my camera.
Sorry excuse for a mother,
Leslie
Dropping a 30 pound weight? Come one Hunter, you can do better than that! You better be dropping 100 pound weights by the end of the year.
Holy Cow! How tall is Hunter now? He looks like a giant laying on the table. Sorry about the finger.
sick-too bad you didn't take any video of giggly hunter!
Too bad about the finger! Aren't you glad that he was laughing in stead of crying? The picture where he is looking at the camera with a big grin makes me laugh! I'm glad about you taking pictures. I wanted to take pictures of Carter when he was in the hospital, but I knew that Ryan would divorce me if I did, so I didn't. Then he can prove to his future wife how tough he was!
