Colton's lip

Thursday night at 6:15, Colton was riding his friends bike in front of our house. He crashed and cut his upper lip in half almost to his nose. Brett and I took him to the ER. We waited for about an hour before they sedated him and sewed him back together. He has 12 stitches going from below his nose, under his lip, and up the back side of his mouth. He was pretty tough, he only cried for about 15 minutes. He didn't even cry when they gave him an IV. The part he hatted most was when they tied the rubber around his arm so they could find a vein. He threw up coming home. When we got home at 10:00 p.m. he didn't want a bath so I gave him a sponge bath and he went right to sleep. I am surprised he slept through the night and we woke him up at 4:30 a.m. so he could go to Grandma's with dad. He is pretty tough. He will get his stitches out on Tuesday.
