Our second Urgent Care visit

So our first trip to Urgent Care was when Ben had pneumonia.
Our second trip to Urgent Care was today!

So the kids are all in charge of chores at the ranch house. Katie and Ben do the chickens and Hunter takes care of the dog. Buckwheat is a real hyper dog and gets overly excited when you come to feed him. He barks and jumps all over. 

So today, Hunter walked over to feed him and disappeared into the hay. Buckwheat is tied up over there to keep the elk from eating the hay. Katie also went over with the water for the dog.

Suddenly, I hear Hunter crying and screaming and Katie comes running out of the hay yelling that buckwheat got Hunter! When I see hunter, he has a pool of blood in his mouth and it is dripping down his lip!

The car was parked right there so I start grabbing Kleenex, told Katie to run to the ranch house and get a washcloth and wet it down and am trying to assess his lip.

I will just describe what I saw as white hamburger!

I thought for sure he would need a couple of stitches but you learn something new every day....and here is what I learned.

When you cut the inside of your mouth...unless it is a ripped apart situation in your mouth or your lip is torn in half....they just let it heal! So, although deep...no stitches!

I must say, great grandma Lucy was watching out for her "little Huntsy" today!

Sorry if the picture makes you gag Vanessa & Evan.....I can hardly look at it myself!
