Poor Cameron

I was sitting at home yesterday, enjoying the peace and quiet. Cameron and Austin were playing outside. All of a sudden, one of my neighbors comes rushing over and asks where Kent is. I reply, "He's sleeping, why?" Before she gets a chance to say anything else, another neighbor comes rushing in my door carrying a screaming Cameron. His face and coat are covered in blood. My neighbor asks where Kent is and I tell him he's sleeping but I will wake him up. He proceeds to tell me that Cameron tried to jump over his dog chain, tripped and somehow feel on his head on his drive way. Kent comes out and we both look. We couldn't even find where he's bleeding from. His head looked like road rash and he had a HUGE goose egg. The goose egg is what freaked me out. My neighbor felt awful and suggested helping Kent give him a blessing, which they did. I then rushed Cameron to the ER. He had gotten really quiet which is not like Cameron. Once we got to the hospital, the check in nurse came and checked him out right away. She found the hole. It was more like a puncture wound of some sort. They got him back and cleaned up. The dr. told me that he was going to put one staple in his head just for precaution. He wasn't going to numb him up first. I was okay with that. Quicker the better. I still can't believe so much blood came out of such a little laceration. They stapled his head and sent us on our way. Cameron was so brave. Once I got home, Kent asked if our neighbor had showed up at the hospital. I said "no" in confusion. A little while later, our neighbor came back to the house with a guitar he has been fixing up for Cameron to give him for his birthday. (He missed it by a couple days). He wanted to cheer Cameron up. He felt so bad. I'm just grateful for such wonderful neighbors and all they do to help me. Cameron feels much better today. He can't wait to go back to the hospital next week to get his staple "out of his brain".

Cameron's one staple. Kind of hard to see but it's there.

Cameron with his new guitar. He goes over to my neighbors house almost daily to play with his guitars and recording equipment. Cameron is VERY into music. The guitar is really nice. We can't wait to get him into lessons. He seems to have some natural ability. :)
