This day has been haunting me this entire week. I knew it was coming. I knew it happened in mid-October. I knew it was close. It wasn't until I went back to my original blog post that I realized it was exactly one year ago. It is quite possibly the worst day of my life. I look at this picture and I shutter. I can remember the screams, the blood, the panic, the horror. All of it. Tears still fill my eyes when I think about it. It was dreadful. The doctor said it would be a year before we knew how things would heal. Did you know that scarring goes though phases? I didn't. Until I witnessed it first hand every day. There were times when it was raised and bright red that I would think it would never look better. I went through more sunscreen on his head this year than one could ever imagine. I know Wyatt hasn't forgotten about that day. We drive by the hospital and he always tells me that is where he went when he hurt his eye. I look the other way. It literally haunts me. And even though I love his long-hair-look like Johnny from the Karate Kid, I have to say, I don't think it's a necessary as it once was. Although it isn't as good as having no scar at all, I think all in all it ended up okay. Like I said in my original post one year ago...."My sweet Wyatt, he's going to be just fine".

almost a year ago lincoln fell out of a shopping cart. he was reaching for something on the display near the cash register. the shelf was unstable and crashed to the floor and link fell out on top of the shelf and all the things that were on it. dripping blood from his forehead. some other customers came over and were handing me tissues from their purses and telling me to get him to the hospital to get it stitched. the store people however were really lame and wanted me to fill out paper work about the accident and were not helpful. i had to ask for more tissues/paper towels anything and they just stared at me. i still see that scar and think how crazy that i was right there and what i could have done differently, but the blessing that he is alright.
It looks amazingly better. And look at that cute smile that goes with it. Oh, I just shuttered looking at it. Oh the trama we have as mothers. Chase is the most crazy climber and get into everything kid. He scares me all.the.time. I just see that picture and see it happening to him. I am glad a year later he is happy and good. :)
Oh, Bryn! I remember when this happened! I am so glad that Wyatt is doing so well. I never even notice his scar. What a scary time that was.
