I think we set a record tonight. A record for shortest time for a trip to the ER. The fall happened at 8:15, and we were back home by 9:45.
Braden was wrestling with Dad on the bed tonight and fell off. To make matters worse, Dad tried catching him and only managed to spin him around so he smashed his face on the corner of the nightstand.
He is ok, but he cut his cheek just below his right eye, right on the top of the cheek bone. It obviously needed stitches, as it was a pretty good gash an inch long and it just kept bleeding. So off we went to the ER. By the time we got in the car for the trip, he was already smiling, so we know it wasn't too bad.... or he's really tough.
Braden was very brave! They ended up strapping him to a papoose board and putting in three stitches. He cried through that, but did much better than I thought he would!
But boy is he going to have a shiner! Pictures to follow.
No, Mark, we didn't ask him what he hit... he can't talk yet.

Braden is very definitely an Ehlke boy! There probably will be more trips to the emergency room.
I would choose stitches over a broken leg! We'll have to keep count and see who ends up in ER more!
Your son is a Bears fan, or at least you hope he is. With the way the Bears get injuries, I'm not sure this would be a fair competition!
He's a Cornhusker before he's a Bear...and that's what will put the tough in him! Although...I guess Mike Brown is out with injury...oh well.
