This is what was stuck in the back of his thigh.....3 1/2 inch long (9cm) sliver!! He was climbing our fence between the two yards to try to get the lilacs from the top on the tree (the only place they grew this year). He lost his balance and fell, came screeching into the house crying, and kept asking 'what's stuck in there, what's in there?' I then proceeded to get the story from him about what happened, and we then decided to rush him to the hospital. My hubby took him, as we were about to have lunch and Emmalee had a friend over. They were back in less than an hour.
It was a huge blessing nothing worse happened. I phoned to tell my mom & dad, and my dad told me a story of a man who bled out in 5 mins from a antler piercing his thigh and died. Thank God this didn't pierce any arteries, or muscles. Just a GREAT BIG sliver.
Hubby and I had a little date last night, longest we've been out in a while. We had some little errands to do, then we went for supper and over to my brothers for a tiny bit. Alexa was telling one of our neighbour kids that we were going out on a date, and she was kinda giggling. So I asked her "What do Mommy's and daddy's do on dates? What does going on a date mean?" And her response is priceless. As she was telling her friend, "They are going to shop until all the stores close!!" She was pretty excited about that! It was so cute!!
Have a great weekend, we are headed out to Dilke tomorrow for a 'pizza night' at my parents place!! MMMmmmm good!

Oh my goodness!! So glad he's okay!
When my brother was around 10 he was pushing himself on the swingset with a long wooden pole of sorts, the pole jammed into the ground and got stuck, Charles swung forward, and you guess it,you know that little dip at the base of your trachea? Between your shoulder blades? The pole splintered and went right IN! He had a good 3 inch long splinter in his throat!
Oh my goodness on the stick!
That's exactly what we heard about your date. Hope you had a nice time out.
Very cute of Alexa to think that about your date...lol Great pic of the twig in his leg...still yucky for me to even think of it, but glad he is doing well and nothing worse happened!!
