you do the math...

1 normal (curious, energetic, brave) 10 year old boy

+ 1 large (cold, heavy, pointy) icicle hanging off a roof   

?????

 

Yep...lots of tears & plenty of blood. 

Luckily, we were able to treat him at home with a little tylenol, a bag of ice (ironically), and NO stitches.

 

He's got a nice headache this morning, so he's staying home from school...

but we feel very lucky it wasn't worse!

  4. If that had been my kid, it totally would have resulted in stitches!!!

    So glad he's OK. Icicles freak me out for exactly that reason! Hope the healing goes well!

  5. Glad it wasn't worse (I recall a scene from Grey's Anatomy) ... I am wary of icicles. A huge one fell off my mom's roof and took out the windshield of my car (several years ago)
