Back to the doctor we go...

When I said I had some posts brewing this isn't exactly what I had in mind, but it happened, so I will document it. I'm sorry if these pictures are disturbing to you. They are very disturbing to me, but Kyle said I must share them.


Poor Kyra split her chin open yesterday after her loving sister bumped (shoved) her off the stool in the bathroom. She was very brave and is dancing around as usual today.


After they glued it shut.


Since we are discussing doctor visits, we might as well throw in an update on Ryder's allergies. We saw an allergist and they did a skin test. He tested for all kinds of different allergens. It didn't surprise us to find out he is severely allergic to cow's milk and moderately allergic to eggs (yolk and whites). However, we were surprised to find out that the aspiring equine veterinarian's son (Ryder) is severely allergic to horses! That is going to be a problem. He is just going to have to grow out of it, right?


So that is the latest medical report for us! Here's to no more new allergies or injuries for us for a great while!

Poor Kyra...what a brave girl. That pic is pretty sweet though...glad you shared it!

Hope Ryder grows out of his horse allergy...can you grow out of allergies?

Ouch! That is so icky what happened to Kyra. I am glad she is doing well, ah the love between sisters.

Poor guy having to go through allergy testing must have sucked. When Ethan had to do that he totally freaked he wasn't sure what was going on but he was sure he didn't like it. I think you can grow out of allergies, you can grow into them so why not out?!

So sorry to hear of Ryder's allergies, but I guess its best to know what you are up against. Looks like the glue really did wonders! Corben is a bit jealous, as he had to get 6 stitches in his lip 2 weeks ago. He wishes he could have had the glue instead.
Cheers,
Martha

Jaya busted her chin open before church one Sunday. She got the stitches but I wish we would have just glued it.

Oh! That IS a problem! Poor guy! Guess you'll just have to get a BIG dog to ride! ;-) As for Kyra's chin? She and Chase can be scar twins! He has one very similar, though he doesn't have a sibling to blame for it...just me =(.
