Tongue


So Nathan and Andrew were horsing around in the room at Nana and Grandpa's when they should have been taking a nap.( hum what's new) Well somehow Nathan landed on a sharp edge of the bed with his tongue and gave himself a pierced tongue. All thats missing is the ring :) This is not a very good picture but it is the best I could do being as it totally grossed me out to look at it. no blood though. well at the time lots of blood but it stopped by the time I saw him. With his mouth closed it looked like a small slice on his tongue but when he put his tongue out it opened and was a gapping hole that only by a hair did not go all the way through. After it happened Nana consoled Nate and he fell asleep in her arms. I don't think Nana and Grandpa signed up for nurse when taking the boys off my hands for the day but they did a great job and made him feel all better. When he got home we gave him some Motrin and ice by the next morning it was only half as deep and by the end of the week it was healed. The tongue is pretty amazing.
