Austin's Staples

Well, we just experienced our first trip to the Emergency Room and thank the Lord it wasn't a life or death situation! Austin went out on a canoe Sunday with his best friend Jacob and his Dad Jay. They had a great time in the canoe and climbing on the rocks. After a picnic lunch they went to load the boat on the truck. It was super windy outside and as they were loading the boat, the canoe blew off and hit Austin's head. Poor Jay ran to Austin and found him with a pretty good cut on his head. Jay is a Doctor so he couldn't have been in better hands. Long story short....Austin ended up with 7 staples but no concussion (?). I was so proud of Austin...he really was brave and handled the situation really well. I sat in that hospital with a little smile on my face because although it was scary/expensive/unknown/etc. I knew God was at work and was gonna turn this situation into a faith building experience that would help Austin fight his battle with fear. I just love watching God move and rescue us from something that could have been so much worse! Now I just have to convince Jay and family that this incident was just a part of life and that beating himself up over it is silly! We love the Goswick family! They have been a huge blessing to our family....especially to our Austin! What a cool scar he will have someday when he looses his hair....which probably will never happen! This picture was taken yesterday.....you can't really see all the staples but you get the idea!
