Let's see...where do I begin?
We're are up by Trial Lake (the same place we went camping over Labor Day weekend), Cody and his brother Chad are cutting down logs to sell as firewood this fall, the kids and I are hanging out in a little area AWAY from the cutting, and everything is going well. Anna is pretending to cut down wood with her "chainsaw"...
Jake actually brought his chainsaw (permission came from his father) to cut down wood and he loved it! It was actually really cute to watch him try to cut down those huge trees. Anyway back to the story... 
So everything is fine and then I am abruptly reminded of who I married and his medical history...
Guesses anyone?Well Cody couldn't find his axe for a minute...............oh wait! It was in his leg!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would you like to know why there are no stitches? Well, anyone who knows my husband will know he's not a big fan of emergency rooms. It is a bad cut and he should have had stitches, but luckily it went on a slant to the side and not straight down, thanks to the bone in his shin. By the time we got home that night it was too late for stitches anyway and we had butterflied it really well (thank you Chad for your first aid skills!) It has sealed up pretty good and it doesn't look like there's any infection, yet...and hopefully it will stay that way. So he's okay, I'm just so grateful it wasn't any worse since we're miles and miles from any kind of help.
Anyway so if anyone is looking for some firewood this winter, please call us! We have a lot since there was no rushed trip to get stitches (can you sense my sarcasm?)

Ax marks the spot!!! He really should have gotten stitches RIGHT after he chopped himself....not wait until 9 pm to decide! Only Cody!! Gotta love him! :) ....hope he doesn't get gangrene...
Oh my!! That's quite the cut good thing it wasn't worse! Glad he is doing ok!
Holy cow! That is such a nightmare! I am so glad that it all turned out alright and hopefully he will heal up just fine!
By the way, when do you find out what you're having? How are you feeling??
I'm glad that he is ok! This reminds me of the time Brian calls and says he wants to make a doctor appt. because he shot a nail through his finger! I had to inform him that nails through body parts call for a trip to the ER. He settled for an instacare. Gotta love it.
