@sinbach is that a bruise above the youngest eye?
@MaryMamuzich yep. he was ALWAYS bumping, scratching, bruising and breaking something. We made more runs to the emergency room with the youngest than I would like to remember.
I remember one day, he got a small lego light caught in his upper nostril cavity, on the way to the emergency room, I got the idea to go to McDonald's and get a straw and try to suck it out. I sucked so hard that snot, boogers, everything came out - but IT WORKED! My heart was sooo relieved when I called the ambulance and told them that all was well.
Not 20 minutes later, he was back in his room, trying to see if the same Lego piece would fit in his ear!
In one week my little guy (not so little these days) leaves for bootcamp to start his journey with Special warfare to be an explosives expert.
