Poor David!

Yesterday the boys had a lot of fun playing at the park with other kids from church. It was a primary activity with lots of fun in the water. They had water gun fights, blew bubbles, played in the sprinkler and ate popsicles. It couldn't be a better day, but then again, it wouldn't be a primary activity without some kind of injury right? One boy split his lip and ended up getting stitches (poor little guy!).

After playing in the water for about an hour, David's hands were really tender - you know that wrinkled soggy feeling on your hands when you've been in the bathtub for too long? Well he decided to play on the park toys and held onto some bars to swing a little bit. I'm sure you might guess what happened to the palms of his hands.... he tore lots of skin off of them. It wasn't enough to make him bleed, but it was a big layer of skin and it has left him pretty raw. I wrapped up his hands in gauze and surgical tape. He also requires lots of TLC so he's been getting plenty of that. I sort of enjoy that he is letting me give him so much attention. Spoon feeding him his oatmeal? That's fine with me! Taking care of business for him in the bathroom.... well I could skip that.
