Eventful day yesterday. Long, too. Jeff and Wyatt went to the Colts game. They left at 9am to get down there, get parked and meet the people they were getting the tickets from. I talked to Jeff a couple of times during the game and they were having a great time. Major bummer that the Colts lost, but still fun. Well, about 4:30 or so, Jeff called and said they were walking to the car and he'd call me when they got there. They had quite a walk. When he finally called back, he said they were going to make a stop on the way home. OK. Well, he finally told me that Wyatt had fallen on a very slippery(it was sleeting), jagged, metal sidewalk grate and cut his knee. They still had 12 blocks to walk after it happened---poor guy. He couldn't tell me how bad it was on the phone because he didn't want to upset Wyatt. Anyway, after 3 hours at the emergency room, he ended up needing 7 stitches. It was a bad injury. He even "lost" a bit of skin. Lovely. He was a trooper through it all and the stitches come out in 2 weeks. After dinner we finally ended up getting home after 9pm. A 12 hour day for them-whew!
